Alaska Legal Services (ALSC) — free civil legal help, Kotzebue office
Alaska Legal Services Corporation (ALSC) is a nonprofit that provides free civil legal services to low-income Alaskans. You can apply online or by calling the statewide intake line, 888-478-2572. ALSC's official office list shows a Kotzebue office at 333 Shore Avenue, Eskimo Building, Room 207, Kotzebue, AK 99752 (907-442-3500, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.). ALSC says it cannot help with tickets and citations, criminal matters, personal injury matters or workers compensation claims, and it cannot accept every application; case acceptance depends on priorities set by its board. If you need an interpreter, tell ALSC and one will be provided at no cost.
Who it’s for
Most applicants qualify if their income is at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for Alaska, although some people with higher incomes may also receive services. ALSC also checks for conflicts of interest, and whether it takes a case depends on office priorities and its limited resources.
