According to the Law on Free Legal Aid, providers of free legal aid can only be lawyers and legal aid services in local self-government units, and only those who are registered in the Register of Providers maintained by the Ministry of Justice. Associations and civil society organizations may provide free legal aid only on the basis of the provisions of the law governing the right to asylum and the prohibition of discrimination.

If you may need legal assistance and you meet the conditions, you can seek this assistance in your place of residence, ie in the seat of the municipality of your dwelling. The municipal official will first check whether you really meet the conditions, where they will tell you which documents you are required to obtain and bring as a proof of fulfillment of the conditions (decision on the use of social assistance, child allowance, etc.), also they will explain the procedure. Your request for free legal aid may be accepted or denied on the basis of all facts. When accepted, you may be further referred to specific providers of free legal aid - to other lawyers or eventually the same officer would provide you with free legal aid.

In each unit of local self-government there are certain persons, by name and surname, who are in charge to provide free legal aid, so that anyone at the seat of local self-government can refer you to such specific persons.
