Kansas Legal Services

Kansas Legal Services screens requests for civil legal help by telephone and an online intake process. State any court deadline when applying.

Who can apply

The organization helps qualifying low- and moderate-income Kansans. Screening considers household finances, the legal problem and available services; the intake team decides what help can be offered.

What help is available

Services include civil issues such as housing, benefits, employment and family matters. Self-help forms and referrals are also available.

Documents to prepare

Prepare notices, court dates, the opposing party’s name, household income and relevant expenses. Keep copies of everything already filed.

How to get started

  1. Call 316-267-3975, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. The main Get Help page lists online intake from Monday 8 a.m. through Thursday 4:30 p.m.; check the online application’s current status.

  2. Complete follow-up screening. Watch for a call or email from intake and explain urgent deadlines promptly.

After applying

Confirm whether advice, representation or a referral is offered. Contacting intake does not change a court deadline. Ask who will file any required response.

Common questions

Is there a separate intake number for older adults?

Does online intake stay open over the weekend?

No. The Get Help page lists Thursday 4:30 p.m. to Monday 8 a.m. as closed.

Do I need the opposing party’s name?

Yes. Intake asks about the other side of the legal problem.

Will every applicant receive a lawyer?

No. The office screens eligibility and service availability.
