Brevard County Legal Aid is a website offering free legal advice online in Florida. Situated in Rockledge, Florida, BCLA was founded in 1970 by the Brevard County Bar Association. Over the years, it has expanded to involve a network of more than 400 attorneys who volunteer their time to assist low-income individuals in gaining meaningful access to the civil court system.

Attorneys at BCLA cover various legal issues, including family law, foreclosures, domestic violence, guardianship, consumer cases, bankruptcy, and landlord/tenant cases.
