Welcome to

Prairie State Legal Services 

Since 1977, Prairie State Legal Services (PSLS) has fought to achieve equal justice for people living in poverty across 36 counties in northern and central Illinois. We operate 11 offices, with locations in Bloomington, Galesburg, Joliet, Kankakee, McHenry (Woodstock), Moline, Ottawa, Peoria, Rockford, Waukegan, and West Suburban (West Chicago). PSLS celebrates more than 45 years of service to those in need.

Our Work

We dedicate our work to individuals and families who have depleted resources for basic human needs, ultimately securing safe housing, food, income, and personal safety. More than 16,000 cases are represented by our staff of 108 attorneys and more than 300 pro bono volunteers every year.
