How We Decide What Cases We Take
Since demand for our services far exceeds the availability of our staff and attorneys, cases are selected based on available resources and must fit within our priority areas.
If you have one of these issues, we encourage you to contact us. Please keep in mind:
• At this time, we can provide you with information about your legal rights or may be able to refer to persons or programs that may be able to assist you.
• But, due to our existing case obligations, our ability to take on new cases or provide specific legal advice at this time has been significantly limited.
