  • Social Security Problems and Other Public Entitlements
  • Homesteads
  • Termination of Joint Tenancy

This office does not presently handle:

  • Traffic Citations
  • Living Trusts
  • Criminal Matters
  • Bankruptcies
  • Fee Generating Cases
  • Guardianships
  • Malpractice Cases
  • Divorces
  • Real Estate Transactions

If you need an auxilliary aid or special arrangements, please notify us when making an appointment.  Senior Citizens Law Project counselors also make visits to home-bound seniors when necessary.
