Private intake

Send LASO feedback for moderated review.

Share a legal-services access experience, source lead, grievance-path concern, funding question, or record gap connected to Legal Aid Services of Oregon.

This is a source-review lane. A submission is a lead, not proof, and nothing publishes without review.

Private first

The desk receives the submission as a private tip record. It is not published from this page.

Review and redact

Names, contacts, uploads, and third-party details require PII and source review before any public use.

Promote only if safe

A lead can become a public tracker row or source note only after review, approval, and a public-safe summary.

This is civic education, not legal advice.

Use this form for civic reporting and source review. It is not legal advice, it does not create an attorney-client relationship, and it does not replace LASO's grievance process or an .

Do not upload privileged legal advice, Social Security numbers, bank records, private medical files, or documents you are not allowed to share. Describe sensitive material instead when that is safer.

Choose your privacy level

Pick this first so the rest of the form only asks for what makes sense.

Contact for possible follow-up

Add an email only if you are comfortable with the desk asking for clarification. Not every lead receives follow-up.

Tell us what you know

A few plain sentences are enough. Focus on what happened, what decision or record is involved, and what feels missing.

Safety, permissions, and sensitive context▼

Open this if the lead includes private details, documents, retaliation risk, or possible case-review context.

Add files, if they are safe to share▼

Add documents, screenshots, audio, data files, or source material for private review only.

Files stay private until review, redaction notes, and approval. Do not upload Social Security, bank, medical, attorney-client, or illegally obtained material unless it is essential to the public-record issue and safe for the desk to receive.

By sending this lead, you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, and confirm the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge. A submission is a lead for review, not proof of a public claim.
