Community Legal Aid Society

Community Legal Aid Society is an immigration lawyer in Wilmington, DE. The nonprofit provides free civil legal services to Delawareans who meet eligibility criteria, including low‑income individuals, people with disabilities, seniors, survivors of domestic violence, and immigrant victims of crime.

The organization serves clients statewide through offices in Wilmington, Dover and Georgetown and holds a 3.70 rating from reviewers.

Founded in 1946, CLASI is Delaware’s oldest and largest civil legal aid organization. It delivers high‑quality representation through a team of attorneys and advocates who handle individual cases and pursue broader impact through litigation, community education and policy advocacy. The agency focuses on non‑criminal civil issues and follows a structured intake process: callers provide basic background information, which is screened for eligibility before a legal staff member reviews the case. Eligibility requirements target people with disabilities, seniors, low‑income residents, survivors of violence, and immigrants facing abuse or neglect.

Located on West 10th Street at 100 W 10th St, the office sits a short walk from the Rodney Square Historic District and the Wilmington Public Library, each about a tenth of a mile away, and is also near East 10th Street, West 11th Street and the Caesar Rodney Plinth.

With a legacy that stretches back more than seven decades, Community Legal Aid Society remains a vital source of free immigration and civil legal assistance for the most vulnerable residents of Wilmington.
