Tim Helgesen's Company Details
Legal Aid Service of Northeastern Minnesota (LASNEM) is dedicated to the principle that equal access to justice is a basic human right.LASNEM has been the legal aid provider to the northeastern region of Minnesota since 1952. In that time, it has become an integral part of the justice system and a cornerstone of the community's commitment to equal access to justice.LASNEM is a non-profit regional law firm and Private Attorney Involvement (PAI) program. Our offices are located in Duluth, Virginia, Grand Rapids, Brainerd, and Pine City. LASNEM's service area encompasses Aitkin, Carlton, Cass, Cook, Crow Wing, Itasca, Kanabec, Koochiching, Lake, Pine, and St. Louis counties.Civil legal aid is the assistance of counsel and legal advocacy for people living at or near poverty in legal matters that fall outside of the criminal justice system. For people facing civil legal challenges, such as evictions, foreclosure, domestic abuse, or denial of government assistance, navigating the justice system without a lawyer can be impossible. LASNEM staff and PAI volunteers provide critical legal representation to people in poverty in matters that impact their security, safety, and well-being.Civil legal aid programs ensure justice for all, not only for the few who can afford it.LASNEM's services, benefits, and facilities are for use by all people.
