MODEST MEANS PROGRAM
To find out more about the Oregon Modest means Program and/or to apply for assistance, please use this link to connect to the Oregon State Bar Association website where you can learn more about the Modest Means Program, the Lawyer Referral Service, and other programs designed to help those in need. Please note that all prospective clients must first be referred to our office by the Oregon Modest Means Program, we do not establish the criteria of those eligible for this service. Oregon lawyers created the Modest Means Program to help moderate-income Oregonians find affordable legal assistance. Eligibility for the program is based upon type of legal matter, applicant income and assets, and availability of participating attorneys. If you qualify for the program, the Modest Means attorney will charge you a reduced rate for any additional legal work provided to you beyond the initial consultation.
The Modest Means Program is only available for family law, criminal defense, and landlord/tenant matters at the trial court level (appeals are not covered by the program). Please note that there are a limited number of attorneys participating in the Modest Means Program, and there may not be a Modest Means attorney in your county.
Please note that the attorney will receive a copy of your application and may ask additional questions to confirm your eligibility for the program. The attorney has the final say in the qualification process.
Please also remember that the Modest Means Program is not a “pro bono” or free program. You must be able to pay for any services you receive. If you are unable to pay these fees, you should contact the legal aid office in your county of residence.
Phone: 503-684-3763 or toll-free in Oregon at 800-452-7636.
