After Your Application
After you fill in the **Online Application**, an Intake Specialist will **email or call you within a few days** to ask you more questions to determine your eligibility for services.
Please note, you might be called within 24 hours of completing an online application, or depending on call volume, it could be 2 to 3 business days.
During times of heavy volume and holiday closings, the response to your application may be delayed for several days.
PLEASE WATCH FOR CALLER I.D. 316-267-3975.
Lowest hold times are *usually* 10 am-12 pm, and 3 pm-4:30 pm. The call center sometimes closes 2 pm-4 pm on Tuesdays or Wednesdays for staff meetings as well.
Additional Questions
**Whether you use the Online Application or call in to an Intake Specialist, you will be asked further questions.**
Depending on what kind of legal issue you have, you might be asked a lot of identifying information as well as household size, income, and asset questions.
You will also be asked the name of the **opposing party** in your legal issue. The opposing party might be a spouse in a divorce case, a landlord, or a collection agency—anyone with whom you may have a dispute or legal issue.
Information You Might Be Asked For:
- Exact income (such as hourly rate and number of hours each week or gross annual salary before taxes), for each person in your house, not just you
- The amount of rent or mortgage you pay
- Any fixed debt payments (like taxes you are paying) and child support paid by anyone in your household
- Medical debt
- Current or back income taxes
- Costs of children's daycare
If free or low cost legal services aren’t available in your situation, we will do our best to help you learn about other options that might be available.
