Elder Law & Advocacy - Senior Citizens Legal Services San Diego
 
Other Information:

Elder Law & Advocacy is a non-profit organization serving seniors in San Diego and Imperial Counties. EL&A's Senior Citizens Legal Services provides legal services to anyone 60 years of age and older, regardless of income, through our base office, regional offices and senior ceners throughout San Diego. Services are also provided to clients in rural, back country locations as part of our outreach program.

SCLS provides one-on-one appointments with licensed attorneys to meet their legal needs. Free services can include will drafting, consumer credit, housing, income maintenance, Advance Health Care Directives, elder abuse and health insurance issues.

Our Litigation Dept. handles general civil litigation such as financial elder abuse, real property, business problems and credit collections. Unfortunately, we do not accept cases that require immediate filing of court documents due to statute of limitations or other deadlines and, due to limited resources, we are unable to handle family law, probate, judgment collections or criminal law.
