Heartland Pro Bono Council recruits and trains attorneys to represent low income people who have a civil legal matter in central Indiana. Heartland answers legal questions, refers callers to appropriate agencies and determines eligibility for free legal services through our
intake line at 317-614-5304.

If you are in need of free legal help and you live in central Indiana, Heartland Pro Bono can either direct you to agencies in Indianapolis and the surrounding counties that can help you with your civil legal matter or place you with one of our volunteer attorneys. First you must meet the income guidelines for free legal help. Please telephone Heartland at 317-614-5304 and leave a message. Our Intake Attorney will return your call to discuss your legal matter and determine if you are eligible for our programs. Click here for more resource information.

If you are an attorney, we provide support and training opportunities that allow you to volunteer your services to low-income families in civil legal cases. On our website, you will find descriptions of some the programs such as Lawyers Helping Families or the Modest Means Program, and forms you will need if you choose to volunteer such as reporting forms or expense reimbursement forms. You may use our online volunteer application to get started.
