Fran and the CLS team were very helpful when I was trying to sort out a wrongfully denied health insurance claim. Very useful for students who can’t afford legal services since it is a part of our student fees!

Lawyer Tristan Routh has been an invaluable source of support throughout my medical school journey. UNC School of Medicine students are fortunate to have access to legal aid (covered by tuition), and I’ve greatly benefited from his guidance over the years.

Thank GOD for Fran Muse and Carolina Legal Services!!!! I was in a 5 month dispute with Financial aid, the IRS, my past employer, and SSA. This resulted in my scholarship and financial aid being withheld for the first month and a half of this semester. With Fran's help, I was able to advocate for myself and get the situation resolved and get my money released. I put off contacting CSLS for a long time, but wish I had reached out earlier. Such a wonderful and helpful resource to help students navigate difficult processes!

CLS has been an absolute life saver for me. As a student who cannot easily afford legal coverage, when my landlord refused to fix a sewage leak in my apartment and to reimburse me for damage to my property, Carolina Legal Services -- and in particular Tristan Routh -- stepped up to represent me. They made sure I was compensated properly and that my apartment was fixed. I am immensely grateful to Tristan and his teammates, and don't know how I would've gotten through this without their help.

An amazing, knowledgable team here! I absolutely would not have been able to access legal services independently, so I am so glad this is included in my student fees!
