Using our services

You can apply for legal aid at any legal aid office regardless of your place of residence. Using the services of the office nearest to you is usually the most practical choice.

There are 23 legal aid offices throughout the country (including the Legal Aid and Public Guardianship Office of Åland), and they are usually located in the same municipalities as district courts. Legal aid offices may have branch offices, if necessary. The staff consists of public legal aid attorneys and legal aid secretaries.

Based on the information you provide in the legal aid application, the legal aid office will decide whether you will be granted legal aid.

You can contact a legal aid office through e-sevices, by telephone or by visiting the office.
