AppalReD Legal Aid - providing civil legal services

The Appalachian Research and Defense Fund of Kentucky, Inc., known nationwide as “AppalReD,” is a private, non-profit law firm. We offer free civil legal help to eligible, low-income people in 37 counties in the Appalachian Mountains and rolling hills of eastern and south-central Kentucky, a region where more than 240,000 people live in poverty. AppalReD’s attorneys, paralegals, and legal secretaries in six local law offices work hard to improve our clients’ lives. We help our clients get and keep basic needs: Income; adequate food and health care; decent, safe, sanitary housing; and personal safety and protection from violence and abuse. AppalRed offers a unique Volunteer Lawyers Program, and our Low Income Tax Clinic stretches to provide help with income tax problems to residents of 86 Kentucky counties. AppalReD also serves our community with training open to private attorneys and legal staff, like our well-known, annual Domestic Violence Conference and Poverty Law seminars. AppalReD cannot provide assistance with criminal law issues.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Executive Director

Angeleigh Dorsey

LinkedIn profile

Angeleigh Dorsey is the Executive Director of AppalReD Legal Aid. Her legal aid journey began while still in law school with the program now known as Indiana Legal Services. As a law student intern, she discovered the difference legal assistance can make in the lives of people of limited means when they have access to an attorney. She joined the organization as a staff attorney in her hometown, eventually becoming managing attorney before moving to the mountains of Western North Carolina in Asheville. Prior to joining AppalReD in 2023, Angie served in a variety of leadership roles at Legal Aid of North Carolina in Asheville including starting the first statewide Senior Law Project and Senior Legal Helpline and implementing the launch of the NC Medicaid Ombudsman program. Her practice has focused on public benefits, elder law, and health advocacy programs. She was the 2022 recipient of the North Carolina Bar Association’s Deborah Greenblatt Outstanding Legal Services Attorney award.
