Giving Tuesday: Join the 20-20 Challenge
Support TALS today because you believe in equal access to justice in Tennessee. Help us strengthen the delivery of civil legal help to vulnerable Tennesseans. In just 20 minutes, our limited-scope HELP4TN services can make a big difference to Tennesseans facing a crisis.
Our Work
TALS provides legal advice and referrals to Tennesseans through the 1-844-HELP4TN free legal helpline, legal information and forms through www.HELP4TN.org, and connections to pro bono attorneys for legal advice through TN.FreeLegalAnswers.org. TALS also supports the civil legal aid organizations statewide through Continuous Legal Education courses and our annual training conference, Equal Justice University.
Our legal services provide a necessary service to low-income and vulnerable Tennesseans. In just twenty minutes:
- A free phone call with a HELP4TN free legal helpline attorney can provide legal advice and referrals to local resources, and empower the caller to take action on their legal issues.
- A free Legal Wellness Checkup can provide a person with education about their legal risks, legal rights and responsibilities, and personalized referrals on HELP4TN.org to get help.
