A Message From
Board Chair – Sally Gertz
My husband Marc and I have been supporters of Legal Services
of North Florida, Inc. (LSNF) for over 15 years. We have gained so
much through our contributions, including the emotional reward
of knowing we have helped ensure so many in our community
have a way to solve their legal problems.
LSNF’s core values match our own. We both care about the
well-being of our community and providing access to justice for
those who may otherwise not be able to afford it and, therefore,
have little chance of success navigating the complicated civil
justice system.
The services LSNF provides are invaluable to the individuals living in the 16 counties we
cover. As a professor at the Florida State University College of Law, I know firsthand just
how complicated our legal system can be. As I teach my students how to practice law, I also
encourage them to provide pro bono help to individuals in their communities once admitted to
the bar.
Despite all of our efforts, there are still many who need help, but who we cannot assist because
we simply do not have the resources. I often think about how difficult it is for LSNF staff to say
“no” to those in need, but also how life changing it is when we can say “yes.”
As LSNF board chair, I want to thank our donors, volunteer attorneys and staff who provide
quality legal assistance to those who need it to continue living in their homes, receiving
the payments they are owed, and escaping violent situations. If you are reading this and
contemplating starting a relationship with LSNF, I urge you to continue. I have received so
much by giving back to this organization and I know you will as well.
Sally C. Gertz, Esq.

A Message from
Executive Director - Kris Knab
An elderly man suffering from dementia is taken advantage of by his
adult children and is at risk of losing his home. A single mother’s only
means of transportation to get to her job 25 miles away each day
is destroyed in a fire. A woman who has suffered years of physical
and mental abuse by her husband has nowhere else to turn and no
resources to end the marriage.
Stories like these happen every day and serve as a harsh reminder
of the struggles that individuals and families in need regularly face.
These struggles are further compounded by the fact that in most of
these cases these individuals can’t afford the legal services they so
desperately need.
Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) helps ensure there is hope and justice for everyone.
In 2014, LSNF provided services to 6,528 clients resulting in $1,405,422 in one time benefits
and $578,856 in annualized benefits in addition to obtaining 260 injunctions for protection and
55 dissolutions of marriage for victims of violence, relief for 119 families allowing them to remain
in their homes, preparation of 472 wills and advanced directives and other legal solutions.
In 2014, LSNF also launched the Circle of Giving through a legacy gift from the estate of William
T. and Virginia N. Lyons that will help LSNF continue its work providing no-cost civil legal
representation to thousands of domestic violence victims, children, the elderly and poverty
level clients. The Lyons Legacy Gift of $1.4 million will ensure that LSNF continues its mission to
provide hope and justice for all, while realizing the Lyons’ commitment to ensuring vulnerable
individuals and families always have access to justice.
It is my privilege to lead this organization of committed attorneys, staff, board members, donors
and volunteers. Because of their combined efforts we have improved the lives of children,
senior citizens, victims of domestic violence and families at risk of losing their homes. We have
improved our communities by reducing the level of crime, preventing deterioration of property
values and neighborhoods, enhancing local government tax collections and lessening the
demand on other overburdened human service organizations. And, we have breathed life into
our Constitution and Pledge of Allegiance that speak to the importance of justice for all citizens
of our nation, the underlying promise of America. With your continued help we will continue to
pursue justice for all citizens, regardless of their income and resources.

Endowment Fund
In 2006 LSNF’s Board of Directors and a committee of volunteers created an endowment fund to commemorate
LSNF’s 30th anniversary. An account was established at the Community Foundation of North Florida from
which proceeds from the endowment will continue to grow and sustain our services long into the future. Gifts to
LSNF’s endowment can be made at any level and as planned or cash gifts. Donations to the endowment fund
are honored on a plaque in each of the LSNF offices.

their professional responsibility and the goals of the pro bono rule by allowing attorneys to
voluntarily contribute financially to LSNF’s staff-supported and pro bono efforts.

Our Newest Legacy Givers
William T. and Virginia N. Lyons
Legal Services of North Florida is very pleased to announce
a $1.4 million legacy gift received from the estate of William
T. and Virginia N. Lyons. Mr. Lyons served as an intern
at LSNF during law school at the FSU College of Law.
During that time he grew to realize that LSNF truly served
the community by ensuring that vulnerable individuals and
families always have an access to justice. After the death
of Virginia at their home in Jacksonville he made plans to
leave his estate to LSNF.
In honor of the Lyons Legacy Gift, LSNF named the Legal Services Tallahassee office the William T. and Virginia
N. Lyons Justice Center. The LSNF Board has dedicated part of the Lyons gift to the LSNF Justice Fund to help
provide day to day services to those in need, and a portion to the LSNF endowment fund to provide services
for years to come.
The Lyons Legacy will help ensure that LSNF continues its mission to provide hope and justice for all.

Private Attorney
Involvement – PAI
LSNF works closely with private attorneys throughout
its 16 county service area to provide legal assistance
to low-income individuals. Through the Private
Attorney Involvement (PAI) Program this cooperation
takes several forms, coordinating volunteer attorney
resources of time and/or financial support. Over 900
attorneys make up LSNF’s support pool. More than
545 of these lawyers contributed over $163,000. In
addition, pro bono attorneys provided over 5,258
hours of service in 2014. This is the equivalent of
$788,700 worth of legal services.
A large part of client assistance continues to come
from volunteers at our telephone legal advice
helpline. We are grateful to our partners at the Florida
Department of Business and Professional Regulation,
Florida Department of Transportation and the City of
Tallahassee Attorney’s office for encouraging their
attorneys to participate in this important program for
so many years.
If you would like to donate your time and expertise,
contact John Fenno at john@lsnf.org or (850) 701-3306.
Volunteer Recognition
The work of volunteers is a vital part of Legal Services’
effort to succeed in its mission. Each year LSNF
recognizes its volunteers by publishing in area
newspapers all the names of lawyers who contributed
time and other resources. Additionally, in the 1st and
2nd Judicial Circuits, LSNF holds a Pro Bono Week
and Law Week Celebration reception each October
and May in honor of all volunteer attorneys in their
respective circuits.
Challenges
Our staff is one of LSNF’s most valuable resources.
To maintain consistently high quality client services,
it is imperative to keep well-qualified and dedicated
attorneys, paralegals and support staff that are
committed to making a difference in people’s lives.
Towards that end, we strive to expand our community
support by helping the business and private
community understand the role of legal services in
the quality of life for all and to educate and inform
leaders, philanthropists, politicians, business people
and residents about how integral LSNF is to a safe
and healthy community.

Message from Director of Litigation Scott Manion
Our clients come to us with a variety of problems both large and small. They not only
seek immediate resolution of their legal trouble, but hope for a better future. Whether
we are saving their homes or rebuilding broken families, each client’s case is as
important as the last. A look at some of our work sheds light on what we are all about
and pays tribute to our talented and dedicated legal staff and volunteers. In 2014
LSNF served 6,528 people -- these are a few of their stories (all names are fictitious):
HOPE - Preventing Homelessness
AFFORDABLE HOUSING: Mary came into our office and indicated that she was
homeless. She has two children who are living with their father in another county.
She was working, but her paycheck was being garnished for child support. She
could no longer afford her rent, utilities or any other expense, including visiting her children. She was eventually
evicted and subsequently lost her job. She began staying at the homeless shelter. While at the shelter, she
volunteered and eventually obtained two part-time jobs. We succeeded in court and were able to reduce child
support long enough to allow her to save for her deposits and move into affordable housing.
FORECLOSURE: Nancy, an elderly woman who had recently been widowed, was in the process of building
a new home. After her husband died, the builder abruptly refused to finish the house. In fact, he walked off
the job with the entire back of the home unfinished and exposed to the elements, while Nancy was forced to
remain in another home that had been condemned by local officials. Almost a year later she was in contact
with a LSNF attorney after receiving a foreclosure notice from the bank. LSNF quickly contacted the bank to
stop the foreclosure. Nancy had no idea how to proceed. With LSNF’s help the foreclosure was stopped and
monies were provided to finish the home. The house was soon finished and Nancy moved in. The first builder
was reported to the state to have his license revoked and Nancy was able to save her new home from certain
destruction by vandals and from foreclosure.
JUSTICE - Protecting Consumers
BANKRUPTCY: Mr. Sanders was nearing retirement but was in danger of losing his home. A bankruptcy plan
was completed but it was discovered that the lender had added charges that were illegal after the bankruptcy
was discharged. There was a threat the home would go into foreclosure again. LSNF reopened the bankruptcy
and filed for violation of certain bankruptcy rules. LSNF prevailed in court and got the lender to agree to drop
$2,000 in additional charges. The lender also offered a $30,000 reduction in principal and dropped the client’s
monthly payment from $680 to $313 a month as a result of a class action settlement. With the lower mortgage
payment Mr. Sanders and his grandson have additional resources to greatly improve the quality of their lives.
FORECLOSURE: Bethany, a working single mother caring for her four nieces, was facing foreclosure. She
had filed for bankruptcy but could not keep up with the payments the court established. With a new program
designed to help homeowners in rural areas, LSNF helped Bethany on an emergency basis with her application.
Fortunately, she was able to provide the required $3,000 down payment from her tax refund. With LSNF’s help,
Bethany and her nieces remain in their home.
9
FOR ALL - Protecting Families
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Angie was a 22-year-old college student, who was a victim of domestic violence. On
her own, she obtained a permanent injunction against her husband. She came to us for a divorce after she
had filed her own dissolution of marriage, but was unable to get her husband served with the court papers.
The judge was about to dismiss the case. LSNF stepped in and was granted an extension and then obtained a
voluntary acceptance of service signed by her husband. Their divorce was finalized and Angie graduated from
college and is now working full time for the state. However, prior to obtaining her state job, she discovered that
a prior arrest would prevent her from working for a particular state agency. She had been arrested in a domestic
dispute during which she defended herself from her abusive husband. The charge was eventually dropped.
We assisted Angie in obtaining an expungement of the arrest so she could obtain the job she wanted.
TEENS & CHILDREN: LSNF represented Jenny, a 13-year-old severely autistic girl with epilepsy. Medicaid
was providing personal care assistance during the time she was not in school. Julie’s mother was disabled and
could not care for her without assistance. She received a notice from the Agency for Healthcare Administration
that would significantly reduce her assistance on the basis it was not medically necessary, since the mom was
at home and Julia did not require any complicated medical treatment. Her mom requested an appeal. At the
same time she required hospitalization for three weeks. This caused Julie to be placed into a foster home. LSNF
was able to get Julie returned to her mom after her hospital stay and a hold placed on reducing her benefits.

Where does your funding come from?
LSNF is funded from a variety of public and private sources.
Our largest funder is the Legal Services Corporation (LSC)
which is funded by Congress. Additionally we receive Interest
on Trust Accounts’ funds from the Florida Bar Foundation. We
also have a variety of governmental grants which help fund
our domestic violence programs, representation of children
and low-income taxpayer clinics. We receive funds from
14 of our counties derived from ordinances in accord with
a legislative mandate. The remainder of our funding comes
from other governmental and private grants, the United Way,
private contributions and fundraising events.
Are you a state or governmental agency?
No, we are a private not-for-profit agency.
How many lawyers do you have?
Over the 16 counties we serve, we have 16 staff attorneys
and over 340 volunteer lawyers.
What is the composition of your board?
Our board is comprised of representatives of the various
attorney groups throughout our region and one third is
comprised of client members, who represent various agencies
serving the poverty community.
How do individuals get services from LSNF?
A potential client is either referred by another agency or the
courts, or comes to us on their own. They apply for services
and within one week are notified if we will handle their case.
The cases are assigned to LSNF attorneys, paralegals or
volunteer attorneys.
What is the criteria for accepting a client?
Our primary client base is restricted to an income of 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. Several of our
grant sources have varying income requirements. The domestic violence grants do not have an income criteria
because so many victims are situationally poor. All cases must be civil in nature and adhere to our priorities.
What is the difference between you and Legal Aid and Northwest Florida Legal Services?
Legal Aid provides services through volunteer attorneys, almost exclusively in Leon County. Northwest Florida
Legal Services provides services through staff attorneys primarily in the areas of health, social security, juvenile
and family law, almost exclusively in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. LSNF provides services through staff
and volunteer attorneys throughout 16 North Florida counties. In 2014 in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties,
LSNF focused primarily on consumer, housing, domestic and sexual violence issues, tax controversies and
children’s issues.
Hope. Justice. For All.
Who benefits from your investment in LSNF?
Vulnerable and exploited individuals, families, and veterans.
Domestic and sexual violence victims and their children in long-term personal
safety.
Senior citizens with disabilities who have limited access to
public transportation.
Seniors who are targeted by home improvement/
predatory lending scams.
Families stabilized by maintaining
transportation and income.
affordable
housing,
Individuals given assistance to secure employment and education.
Community non-profit organizations that work with special needs populations, affordable housing, job creation
and transportation.
Rural and immigrant women/men who are victims of abuse.
Everyone Benefits
When we stop an illegal eviction, one less person is homeless.
When we force a fly-by-night contractor to redo “shoddy” work for an elderly couple, we are discouraging
contractors from preying on other victims.
When we save a home from foreclosure, residents do not need to seek shelter at the community’s expense or
become homeless.
When we stop a cycle of domestic violence, we are saving lives, enhancing employment stability and reducing
healthcare costs.
When we help not-for-profits with their legal issues, we are helping them to allocate more revenue for their client
services.
When LSNF helps clients provide for themselves, other community non-profit resources are not stretched as thin.
