What is the difference between OPLC and a local legal aid office?
Most legal aid offices provide civil legal assistance and representation to low-income individuals and families in the office’s service area (usually one or more counties). You can find the legal aid office that serves your area by clicking here. OPLC, in contrast, works on systemic poverty law issues that impact low-income Ohioans and provides support services to Ohio’s six legal aid programs. OPLC does not usually represent individuals or take individual cases and does not conduct regular intake.
