South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center is a forceful and respected advocate for low-income South Carolinians on issues such as health care, immigration, reentry issues, housing, education, hunger, public benefits, domestic violence, and consumer issues.

SC Appleseed is dedicated to affecting systemic change wherever we can do the most good — in and through the courthouse, legislature, administrative agencies, community and the media. We grow our impact by helping others do the same through education, training and co-counseling.

South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center provides helpful legal information to the general public through brochures, pamphlets, flyers and power-point presentations. These materials are not for specific cases, but rather offer general information on laws that may concern readers. It is imperative to seek out legal counsel if information found here suggests that the rights of an individual have been violated.

Topics include: 

• Collateral Consequences
• Consumer Issues
• Disaster Resources
• Education
• Español
• Family Law
• Focus on Kids
• Healthcare
• Housing
• Hunger
• Immigration
• Miscellaneous Law
• Public Benefits

SC Appleseed cannot give legal advice to the public. If you need civil legal help but cannot afford an attorney you may call SC Legal Services to see if you are eligible through their Legal Aid Telephone Intake Service (803) 744-9430 or 1-888-346-5592.

If you are not eligible for free legal help call the SC Bar Lawyer Referral Service (803) 799-7100 or1-800-868-2284.

None of the brochures or written materials found on our site are substitute for legal counsel. We hope they contain information which can clarify your rights or requirements as a citizen, and can guide you to toward the counsel or resolution you need.
