General Intake Form

Please carefully review the material on getting help from the ACLU of Utah and how the ACLU of Utah Accepts Cases and why we are unable to consider every case before filling out this form.

Once you submit the following complaint form to our offices, we will review and record your information. We will contact you ONLY if we decide that your complaint fits within our mission and that we have the resources to help you.

If you do not hear from us, it does not necessarily mean that you do not have a valid constitutional concern. Because we are a small organization with limited resources, we often have to make difficult decisions when choosing the types of issues that we can adequately address. Click here for contact information for a number of legal service organizations that may be better able to address your particular grievance.

Once we receive your complaint we will print it out and review it carefully. This process could take two to six weeks. We will notify you if we determine we are able to assist you. If you do not hear from us it is either because your complaint does not fit within our guidelines or is beyond the scope of our limited resources.

Because of the amount of complaints and requests for legal information we receive, we often have to make difficult choices when deciding on the types of issues that we can adequately address. If we do not take your case, we are unable to give any legal advice.

You should be aware that there is a limited time in which legal action may be pursued, sometimes referred to as a statute of limitations. You may want to contact an attorney for advice about preserving any rights that you may have.

In order to expedite our intake process, we ask that you do not attach any additional information or pages to the complaint form. Also, we are not responsible for any original documents that you choose to send to us.

If you already have an attorney, please have your attorney contact us directly if they feel they would like our assistance. We have a policy of not interfering with the work of other attorneys.

Please note that by accepting this complaint, the ACLU of Utah is not undertaking your legal representation and is not responsible for meeting any statute of limitations restrictions in your case. Also, the ACLU of Utah simply cannot provide emergency assistance or legal consultation.
