What they do

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Call 215-399-0064 and choose the clinic nearest you, or fill out the Schedule a Consultation form on the site and describe your legal problem..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

After you send the form, the clinic says it will call you. The site does not say how long that call takes or whether the first meeting is in person. The group describes itself as Christian, and clinic volunteers include chaplains and people who pray. The clinic reports waits of one to three months, and for urgent problems the site suggests other legal aid groups.

Tips for your first visit

  • If you have a pending case, have your household size, income, and the other side's name and contact information ready for the call.
  • Pick the clinic closest to you when you call, since each clinic has its own phone extension.
  • If your problem is urgent, ask about other legal aid groups while you wait; the site suggests this itself.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Anyone can ask for a consultation by phone or online, and the first one is free. The page does not say who qualifies, and it reports a wait of one to three months..

Free. The first consultation is free. If a volunteer lawyer cannot take your case, the clinic can sometimes arrange a low cost referral.
