If You Need Help From an Attorney

Heartland only takes referrals from other Marion County civil legal aid organizations. We cannot help you unless:

  1. You have applied for assistance from at least one of the providers listed below;
  2. That provider determines that you meet our referral guidelines;
  3. The provider provides you with a referral form (with a copy to us); and
  4. You contact the number on the referral form before the deadline (usually 30 days).

If your case is in Indianapolis (Marion County), please contact one of Heartland’s referral partners listed below.

If your case is in another county (even if you live in Marion County), please visit IndianaLegalHelp.org to see a list of legal resources for that county.
