Perfect

The Legal Aid Society refuses to assist with Court-related abuse and harassment. Which happens when one party in a family law case uses the legal system or repeated or ongoing legal actions to harass and abuse the other party.

repeatedly threatens to go to court to get parenting orders;makes multiple court applications, sometimes at different or wrong courts, to get, change, or overturn court orders;makes incorrect court applications;files affidavits just before going to court, knowing the other party doesn't have a lawyer;makes trivial court applications;humiliates the other party in court using a history of his or her health problems (for example, post-partum depression or mental illness);lies in court about actions that didn't happen, such as adultery, to cause shame to the family;makes false claims, such as denial of parenting time, contact with a child, or access;gets friends or family to write false affidavits, or self-inflicts an injury to create evidence of abuse that doesn't exist;makes up a crisis to get into court quickly when the other party doesn't have a lawyer;uses court delaying tactics to cause financial hardship for the other party, often in cases of child support, or makes multiple settlement offers to deliberately add to the other party's legal costs;isolates the other party from the support workers/lawyers, or threatens or pressures advocates, lawyers, family members, or friends who are helping them;uses public services, such as the police and child protection workers, to make false accusations (such as denial of access);shows police out-dated court orders to gain access, which can result in the other party filing unnecessary court paperwork and giving the abuser time to get a court order; orconfuses the situation by pretending to be the abused person when police are called, or charges assault when the other party is defending him/herself, or forces the other party to drop charges and then uses that in court to prove the other party is lying.

I have pictures of this very issues on their website. Yet, they refuse to even take an appointment.

Great people

Great organization

Very disappointed within this company I called regarding my job forcing me to quit, they claimed there was nothing they can do which may have been true but the way these people talk to you is just awful on top of the reasoning of discrimination! They say they will get back to you and never do! An experience I will never forget and I hope other people looking for help get the help they need from them!

They will help with civil cases, no criminal cases.

Because you can't get any legal advice

The Legal aid society of Putnam county, will help you any way they can if you are ever issued an eviction notice by your landlord.
