Who We Are

The Legal Counseling Project provides free phone consultations to the public in the areas of Landlord/Tenant Law, Family Law, and Employment Law. Legal volunteers review documents, answer questions, explain legal procedures and rights, and discuss options for the individual to resolve their problem or seek appropriate assistance and direction. The program covers the areas of (1) Landlord/Tenant Law, including eviction proceedings, issues with maintenance and repairs, and landlord harassment; (2) Family Law, focusing on separation and divorce, enforcement and modification of child support and maintenance, and custody and visitation; and (3) Employment Law, with an emphasis on wrongful termination, employee discrimination and hostile work environment, and pension and ERISA issues. Consultations are scheduled flexibly based on volunteers’ and clients’ availability.
