Legal Matters – The DA’s Office Cannot Advise You, But Who Can?

At the District Attorney's Office we can face challenges when we receive
calls from Douglas County residents who may be very frustrated about a
pending legal issue and they do not know where to turn for help.  They may
be frantic for answers, but the unfortunate reality is that our office is
statutorily prohibited from providing private legal advice.  Our office
only represents the state of Kansas in legal matters and we cannot
represent individuals.  So what can we do to help?  If the caller does not
have their own private attorney, we can refer them to publicly available
resources.  We want people know what agencies they can contact when they
need legal assistance.

pamphlets available and some are available in Spanish.  Please see their

assist with include consumer/finance, criminal, housing, education,
juvenile, employment, elder law, income maintenance, family, health and
individual rights.  You must complete an application for assistance.  They
also offer lawyer advice by phone for $3.00 per minute and they have some
legal forms available on their website.  See their website for important

The Elder Law Hotline is a project of KLS and a partnership with the KBA.
Hotline attorneys answer questions in civil cases for Kansans age 60 and
older.  Their webpage states cases may be referred to a local Senior
Citizens Law Project attorney or a private attorney.

I hope if you find yourself in need of legal advice and if you do not
already have a private attorney, that these resources may be of assistance
to you or to a family member.  If you have a legal issue that involves a
consumer protection issue, please remember that our office has a consumer
protection division.  If you have a consumer complaint, please call our
consumer division at 785-330-2849 <(785)%20330-2849>.  We are always ready
to serve the citizens of Douglas County.

Sincerely yours,
*Charles E. Branson*
*District Attorney*
