I attended a very informative pro bono training course this morning for the SeniorLaw Center’s SeniorLaw helpline and wanted to share some information about this very valuable resource. This helpline is available to all Pennsylvania Seniors (defined as anyone over the age of 60), and allows individuals to consult with an attorney over the telephone and receive brief legal advice or a referral to another organization that can help further. The most common issues that the helpline is used for are estate planning, landlord/tenant and housing law, and consumer fraud, but the helpline attorneys will try to help a Senior with any legal issue that comes up. The telephone number is 1-877-PA SR LAW (1-877-727-7529). The calls are confidential and free. I’m looking forward to volunteering!
