Our Services

We represent and give legal advice to clients in civil (non-criminal) matters which are of special importance to low income individuals and families. Our primary areas of specialization are:

  • Domestic Relations:
    This includes matters such as child custody, child support, spousal support and divorce. Often these problems can be resolved through negotiation. If the matter cannot be resolved without litigation, we can represent you in court.
  • Housing Preservation:
    This includes matters such as landlord-tenant disputes, mortgage foreclosures, access to public or subsidized housing and homelessness.
  • Income Security:
    This includes matters such as unemployment compensation, welfare benefits, consumer bankruptcy and social security benefits.

  • Consumer Protection:
    This includes matters which involve deception or fraud directed at consumers.

  • Civil Rights and Civil Liberties:
    This includes matters which involve discrimination for any reason prohibited by law and violation of constitutionally protected rights of free speech.
  • Immigration:
    This includes assistance in securing immigration benefits to which you may be entitled under law and representation in certain deportation proceedings.

 

You should get in touch with us even if your legal problem does not fit into any of the above categories. If we cannot help you directly, we may be able to refer you to the appropriate lawyer or legal services agency.
