Legal Help Desk

Lambda Legal's Help Desk staff respond directly to members of our communit(ies) who are seeking legal information and assistance with discrimination related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and HIV status. To the extent that our resources and priorities allow, Lambda Legal takes on legal representation of callers whose situations present impact litigation issues; for many others, Lambda Legal provides leads to other organizations and practical information that might help them address their problems. We also provide a list of suggested questions to ask a prospective attorney. If you would like more information or to request assistance, please call the office which serves your state. Please use our online help desk form if you wish to contact Lambda Legal's Help Desk in writing. Please note that help desk hours are subject to change.

The Help Desk frequently receives inquiries from people with similar questions, or who are facing similar issues, so you may wish to check our list of Commonly Requested Resources and Publications before contacting the Help Desk to see if you can find the information you need.

When calling one of our Help Desks, it is most efficient to call the regional office associated with your state. If you cannot make long-distance calls, please use our toll-free number: 1-866-542-8336. When you call the toll-free number, your message will be redirected, and the appropriate regional office will call you back.
