Community-based Neighborhood Legal Services

SeniorLAW Center provides services not only through its statewide HelpLine and by telephone and walk-in intake at its center city Philadelphia offices, but throughout the communities of Philadelphia.  We are proud to provide home and hospital visits, outreaches throughout the city, special projects at community and senior centers, and at its six community-based intake sites.

Home Visits

SeniorLAW Center staff and its volunteer attorneys provide services to homebound, bedbound, severely disabled and chronically ill elders in their homes or at hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities, when needed.

Community Education and Special Projects

SeniorLAW Center conducts community education workshops, outreach and special legal services projects throughout community, senior and family sites in Philadelphia, including those which bring corps of volunteer attorneys to sites throughout the city to provide individual services.  Check our Events page for upcoming community-based events or find out more about Community Education.

Community Legal Clinics

SeniorLAW Center offers direct services in diverse communities at six sites in Philadelphia on specified dates and times each month. Community-based services expand SeniorLAW Center’s ability to reach isolated clients and provide services in a comfortable environment in their own neighborhoods.  Many of our clinics provide bilingual, bicultural legal services to language and cultural minorities.

Please call the community site if you would like to make an appointment to meet with our staff at a community intake site on the day our clinics are scheduled.  Our current partners are:
