    East River Legal Services (ERLS) is a private, non-profit corporation that provides FREE legal assistance to low income persons in 33 counties in eastern South Dakota. The Service Area link to the left lists the counties that are served by ERLS.

   ERLS screens applicants to be sure that they are qualified for services both by their income and resources and by the kind of legal problem they have. Anyone who meets both qualifications is eligible for services. (Persons 60 years of age or over DO NOT have to meet income qualifications.) Services are provided by our staff attorneys in Sioux Falls and by private attorneys throughout the 33 county area. These services are free to an accepted client. However, a client may be asked to pay certain costs such as filing fees, service fees, cost of obtaining records or expert witness fees. The Priorities link to the left lists the kinds of cases that ERLS may accept.
