Legal Aid offices will be closed due to the extreme cold on Wednesday, January 30 and Thursday, January 31, 2019.  The Milwaukee County Courts are also closed and any clients with hearings should contact their attorney to determine how and when hearings will be rescheduled.

Please stay safe and warm.  If you need help staying warm, please call 2-11 for information about available services.

Due to the winter storm warning and extreme temperatures, Legal Aid will be closed on Monday, January 28, 2019.

If the courts remain open, please plan to attend any court hearings scheduled for tomorrow, but please contact your Legal Aid attorney to reschedule any office meetings.

We have heard reports of a scam that uses the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee’s name to ask for money related to court cases.  People throughout the U.S. have received unsolicited phone calls requesting money for a relative’s bail or court costs.  This is a scam.

If you get a such a call, please get the caller’s name, phone number, and any other identifying information before hanging up to call us at (414) 727-5300.  Our receptionist will verify that the call was not from anyone associated with the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee and get any more information that you can provide.

Legal Aid will be closed on Monday, January 21, 2019 to celebrate and honor Martin Luther King Jr.  We will reopen on Tuesday, January 22.
