Advice, Information and Referral Services:

SeniorLAW Center provides legal advice, information and referral services to seniors, resolving some problems immediately and serving as an important link to a wide variety of legal and nonlegal resources in the aging network. We provide these services by telephone, in-person, and at various community sites.

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.
