If you or your child are currently a Nationwide Children’s Hospital patient, we might be able to provide free legal help through Lawyers for Kids (LFK). Have your provider refer you to us.

Please speak to your doctor, nurse or social worker for more information. Our services are only for Nationwide Children’s patients who are referred by their health care provider.
