Ohio Legal Services Assistant

Ohio Legal Services Assistant (OLSA) is an app to help Ohios legal service providers by giving them easy access to tools to help their clients. It will also help lay service providers to the poor.

OLSA includes a number of calculators to help determine eligibility for SNAP/food stamps, OWF cash assistance, garnishability of income, and the percentage of poverty.

It also contains searchable copies of the rules of procedure in both the state and federal courts Ohios legal service attorneys are likely to need.

OLSA also has access to local resources for various parts of Ohio so that the user can easily find a service provider for a client and provide the necessary contact information.

The app also includes useful forms that attorneys may want to have access to as well as the ability to create advanced directives and powers of attorney.

OLSA is developed by Ohio State Legal Services Association. We would be happy to hear your feedback at [email protected]. Funding for this app came from the LSC TIG program.
