In recent years, services have expanded to address the specific needs of immigrant and refugee families, veterans, community economic development and small-business and minority entrepreneurs. Legal Services now has five offices - St. Louis City- Downtown, St. Louis City- Old North, St. Louis County, Hannibal and Union - that serve 21 Missouri counties from the Iowa border to Potosi.
