Request Legal Assistance

The ACLU handles cases that involve serious violations of civil liberties by the government. We do not have a large staff of lawyers. We are funded through donations, and do not receive any government money. Because of this, we cannot take every worthy case that comes our way. Before you submit a request for legal help, please read the below information.

If you are seeking the ACLU's help in a legal matter involving your constitutional rights, please:

• Fill out our online complaint form.
• Send us a one-page letter summarizing your situation along with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address below (do not send legal documents with your letter)
