In existence since the 1960's, the Legal Aid Society of Hawai`i Kaua`i office has a long history of working to assist the Kaua`i community. Just a few highlights of the Kaua`i office’s past work include: assisting individuals when Kaua`i Electric was requesting significant rate increases, helping Kaua`i residents affected by Hurricane Iniki, and representing abused women through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

The Kaua`i office continues to assist Garden Isle residents with family, public benefits, housing, and consumer law issues.

The purpose of the Intake Hotline is to provide easy access to services at the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii. Primarily, our clients can apply for services through our toll-fee state-wide phone service, which operates during the following times:
