Since 1965, Legal Aid of East Tennessee has worked to build stronger communities and improve lives, by providing high-quality legal services free of charge to qualifying individuals.

Each year, we serve thousands of your neighbors and help them access vital legal guidance. Yet, there exist thousands more requiring assistance. With an estimated 300,000 eligible individuals within our 26-county catchment area, LAET knows the need is great.  

Like many of the legal services programs across the United States charged with advocating for the most vulnerable and underserved, LAET receives funding from the Legal Services Corporation, a federal agency. Thanks to the Legal Services Corporation, 40+ key funding sources, and community support from local bar associations and community members, LAET continues to provide assistance to victims of domestic violence, older adults, families, children, veterans, and those who are economically challenged.
