How We Help

Lincoln Rises From the Ashes

Legal Aid of Nebraska has been a stalwart for justice in Lincoln for almost 40 years. In February 2018 we experienced a devastating fire that inspired us to look into the future and become more resilient. Our staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to help the people of Nebraska live a better life.
