The future of justice begins with… Access for people without lawyers
Who We Serve
FREE TO ALL. Everyone is eligible for ILAO’s help—there are no income or other eligibility requirements. There is no paywall, or demand that users surrender their personal information to gain access. Because of this, the people who ILAO serves may choose to remain anonymous, giving them a greater sense of control over their lives, at a time when they need it most. ALWAYS OPEN: During daytime hours, 62% of people ILAO helps are on a mobile device. Between 10pm–6am each night, this number jumps to 83% of people on mobile. For 500+ Illinoisans each night between midnight and 5am, ILAO is a light in their darkest hour.
