Request Help from ACLU  Utah

The ACLU of Utah's legal team strives to achieve excellence for all our clients, especially for a legal team our size. We are constantly pursuing the chance to defend all of our civil liberties. Due to our limited resources and the high number of complaints and requests for legal information, we often must make difficult choices when deciding on the issues we can adequately address.

As lawyers dedicated to social justice, our legal team does not want to leave any person(s) without an opportunity to seek legal help, even if it cannot be from the ACLU of Utah. That is why we have compiled the list below of free or low-cost legal resources in Utah.
