FORT SMITH (KFSM) - Continuing our coverage of River Valley non-profits benefiting from the United Way, a free legal service highlights how important the help it receives from the agency is.

For a "5NEWS This Morning" segment that aired Saturday (July 25), anchor Daren Bobb spoke to Janet Dyer with Arkansas Legal Services. They provide legal representation in civil cases for low income people. Dyer said the office is busy throughout the year serving a thousand people a year in the Fort Smith area alone. She also said the issues they handle the most are domestic violence cases. All the lawyers are experienced covering five counties in the River Valley.

Arkansas Legal Services has been in Fort Smith since 1978.
