Mission

TO EXPAND ACCESS TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND RIGHTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

  • CHARLESTON LEGAL ACCESS WAS CREATED TO FILL A VOID IN THE LEGAL COMMUNITY AND OFFER SERVICES NOT PROVIDED BY ANY OTHER ORGANIZATION IN THE STATE. OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: TO PROVIDE LOW-COST LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND ASSISTANCE TO THE WORKING POOR AND OTHERS OF MODEST MEANS WHO DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FREE LEGAL SERVICES BUT WHO CANNOT AFFORD A PRIVATE ATTORNEY. SPECIFICALLY, WE SERVE THOSE BETWEEN 125% (THE CUT-OFF FOR FREE LEGAL SERVICES ABSENT A WAIVER) AND 400% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE. WE ALSO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THOSE BELOW 125% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE IF THERE IS SOME REASON THAT THEY CANNOT OBTAIN FREE LEGAL SERVICES ELSEWHERE, CAN PAY OUR MINIMUM RETAINER (OR CONSULTATION FEE), AND OTHERWISE MEET OUR CASE SELECTION CRITERIA.(CONT.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
