Legal Aid Society of Story County

The Legal Aid Society of Story County is a non-profit organization located in Nevada, Iowa. We provide free legal assistance to low-income residents of Story County. Our services typically include helping with civil legal issues such as family law (e.g., divorce, child custody, and domestic violence), housing (e.g., evictions and landlord-tenant disputes), unemployment appeals, consumer issues, and other civil matters. Our goal is to ensure that all residents, regardless of their financial situation, have access to legal representation and support. ***A special thank you to Clio for making this video possible and for diligently working to increase access to justice for all.

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and support from 100 Women Who Care of Ames and the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation. Their contributions have significantly strengthened our ability to serve the community, and we are proud to partner with such dedicated organizations. Thank you for helping make a lasting impact on nonprofits throughout Story County! Together, we are making a difference.

We’re grateful to have attended United Way of Story County's annual Golf For Kids event once again! ?? Each year, we have the privilege of meeting the golfers whose generous support of this event directly impacts the grant funding we receive from the United Way of Story County. These funds are essential in helping our clients and their children by covering court fees and costs, including court mandated parenting courses, like Children in the Middle, and mediation services. Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to making a difference in our community! ???♂??? #GolfForKids #ThankYou #CommunitySupport #LegalAid
