Keep your home address private
Louisiana's Address Confidentiality Program (ACP), run by the Secretary of State, gives participants a substitute address to use with state and local agencies. It forwards first-class mail for free.1
- It is for Louisiana residents who are victims of abuse, sexual assault, or stalking, fear for their safety, and have moved or plan to move to an address the abuser does not know. The program has other rules too.1
- You don't apply to the program directly. You apply in person with an application assistant at a victim assistance program.1
Help for victims of crime
The Crime Victims' Compensation Program, run by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, helps some victims of violent crime with certain out-of-pocket costs they have no other way to pay. The program decides who qualifies.2
Find a lawyer
This site does not give legal advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed Louisiana lawyer.
- The Louisiana State Bar Association has a directory of Louisiana lawyers. In some cities, local bar associations can refer you to a lawyer.3
- If you have a low income, you may be able to get free legal help. The State Bar points people to the Louisiana Civil Legal Navigator, a free site with legal information and referrals to legal aid, and to Louisiana Free Legal Answers, where volunteer lawyers answer civil legal questions online.4
