Another sign of tough times: legal aid for the middle class - Los Angeles Times, March 10, 2009:
Long comfortably ensconced in the proud community of the self-reliant, [one man] was unaware that free or low-cost legal help is available for the mounting middle-class casualties of the recession.In Washington, the online site to visit is washingtonlawhelp.org, a project of the Northwest Justice Project, with documents from Columbia Legal Services, the Northwest Women's Law Center, the Attorney General's Office, and other reliable sources. Click on the Find a Lawyer link at the top of any page to find organizations with free or low-cost legal services.
Had he known about the online guidance, legal self-help centers or community lawyers offering their services at group rates, he might have avoided being scammed by a fraudulent foreclosure rescue business that took his last borrowed money.

Signs of tough times are just everywhere. Sales in bulk or services for many for half the original price are becoming rampant. I think tough times or not, legal aid should be available to everyone.
