Legal Assistance Request Form from the ACLU of Kentucky 

Thank you for contacting the ACLU of Kentucky.  Once you return this complaint form to our office, we will review your information to determine if your complaint fits within our mission and if we have the resources to help you.  Please be aware that this process can take six to eight weeks.

The ACLU of Kentucky offers legal assistance for cases involving civil liberties violations in which government  is involved.

The ACLU of Kentucky does not handle:

• disputes between private parties, including private employment disputes;
• domestic disputes, or
• child custody matters.

Due to limited resources, the ACLU of Kentucky cannot take all cases offered to us, even some concerning real injustices.  If we do not take your complaint, this does not necessarily mean that you do not have a valid constitutional concern.  Because we are a small organization with limited resources, we often have to make difficult decisions when choosing the types of issues that we can adequately address.

In order to expedite our intake process, do not attach any additional documentation to the complaint form.  We cannot return any documents that you choose to send to us.

Please note that by accepting this request for assistance, the ACLU of Kentucky is not undertaking your legal representation and is not responsible for meeting any statute of limitations restrictions in your case.  If you believe you have a potential lawsuit, you should consult with an attorney immediately to ensure that you do not lose the right to bring a legal case due to any applicable time deadlines.

Please note that the ACLU of Kentucky does not provide emergency assistance or legal consultation.

This form should be mailed to:

ACLU of Kentucky
315 Guthrie Street  Suite 300
Louisville, KY 40202-3820
