Legal services are provided in the following areas: public benefits, disability law, housing, and family law. Services are provided FREE to financially eligible persons who reside in Erie County. In some matters clients are required to pay court costs (usually no more than $70.00). In some cases our Disability Law Unit will represent persons in counties outside of Erie County. Federal poverty guidelines are used to determine financial eligibility for our services based upon the number of persons in the household. These guidelines may vary in regard to disability, housing discrimination and domestic violence cases.
