Legal Advocacy Center of Central Florida, Inc.


 The Legal Advocacy Center of Central Florida, Inc. (LACCF) is a non-profit non- Legal Services Corporation restricted law firm dedicated to enforcing the legal rights of eligible low-income clients and disabled persons in Florida Legal Services Region III by providing advice and counsel, legal representation on “impact matters” and class action lawsuits, community education and outreach, and legislative advocacy.


We are a proud recipient of funds from the Florida Bar Foundation and we are also able to collect attorneys fees from opposing parties. Nonetheless, our services are free of charge to our clients.

In order to obtain free assistance, you must be eligible for services by meeting guidelines that are very similar to those of our state agencies. These guidelines are based primarily on income, assets, and household size. We will be happy to speak with you to determine if you are eligible for free services.


We are located in Sanford, FL, but we serve eligible clients in twelve counties: Brevard, Citrus, Flagler, Hernando, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Putnam, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia, through an understanding with Community Legal Services of Mid- Florida, Inc..

"Equal justice under law is not merely a caption on the facade of the Supreme Court building, it is perhaps the most inspiring ideal of our society. It is one of the ends for
which our entire legal system exists...it is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economicstatus."

Lewis Powell, Jr., U.S.
Supreme Court Justice


“Impact matters” are issues that:

  • Affect, or could potentially affect, significant segments of the eligible population, and;
  • Achieve or potentially could achieve relatively permanent improvement in legal rights or basic living conditions of those affected.
