Minnesota Legal Intake

Please fill out this form as completely as possible. If we need information in addition to what is on this form, we will contact you soon.

However, please be aware that due to the number of requests for assistance we receive, we are able to accept only a small percentage of cases. You must understand that unless and until the ACLU agrees to take your case, you are solely responsible for any and all statutes of limitations or other deadlines which might apply to your specific situation. If you have concerns about statutes of limitations or if you feel your case demands immediate attention, you may wish to seek advice from an attorney.
