Adult Representation Services
Dedicated advocacy
Adult Representation Services is a Hennepin County department that provides independent legal representation, advocacy and support to clients experiencing poverty in civil matters where they are entitled to an attorney. We connect clients to resources to help them achieve self-sufficiency and advocate to protect their rights in and outside of court.
We are not affiliated with the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, adult protection or child support services.
