An invaluable service for those in need of legal advice. Their advice helped me to not just win my case but to be very well prepared to win it. Highly recommend.

Was given advice during a custody trial by one attorney who agreed to take my case, after months of waiting for a hearing I was told that the attorney closed out my application and that I'd have to resubmit. Once I resubmitted I was given a different attorney who snapped at me when I told her I didn't know how to answer a motion and said "I'm trying to advise you, you just won't take my advice" and was told that while I am disabled, a mother, and qualify for assistance - she did not Want to represent me, and "You seem like you have this all figured out". 4 years in court against "Believe in Eve" and I barely retained custodial parent and walked away with less than half the states Mandated Minimum in child support for 2 kids.. if nothing else, these people are biased and act in prejudice.

My attorney was so great! After speaking with 4 private attorneys and 2 free legal advice attorneys, I left the legal aid , 15 min consultation more informed than all the others combined. No joke! Awesome, blunt and honest! Wish there were more like him out there! Thanks again

Andrew Banyai and Blair DeMinico helped me fend off an unscrupulous abuser of the justice system. I can't thank them enough. Lee County Legal Aid Society IS busy, so it takes time to get an answer and there are more people who need legal help than there are lawyers on their staff, so they do have to turn away clients, which can be upsetting to people, They don't have the bandwidth to update or chit chat with potential clients or clients other than the facts. They have the same amount of time we all have to do their jobs each day, so they have to sparse it out appropriately. They are human beings doing the best jobs possible and don't have superpowers to accommodate everyone's wishes. I had to wait for answers, but patience is part of the program, whether you are waiting to hear if you're accepted or not, or if you have been accepted and have a question. They also offer a helpful panel consultation for free advice, which I took advantage of initially. It was done on-line and was convenient and helpful. The bottom line is that Andrew and Blair are ethical, fair, and do the best job they can with their time and funding. Legal Aid Society is a benefit to Lee county and I'm thankful they offer their legal knowledge, experience, and services to our citizens.

Zero help. The legal system is something that really screws people over. Then in Lee county. The judges don't have a ounce of common sense
