Programs
2 programs
Estate Planning & Limited Conservatorships: We help older adults, people with disabilities, and their families plan for the future, protect decision-making rights, and avoid unnecessary court involvement. Services include advance healthcare directives, powers of attorney, wills, trusts, and representation in limited conservatorship proceedings. These tools are often out of reach for low-income families, leaving them vulnerable to crises. By offering accessible legal planning, we ensure community members can age with dignity, protect their loved ones, and preserve generational wealth. Our outreach through hospitals, senior centers, and community clinics extends these protections to those who need them most.
Education & Disability Rights Advocacy: Every child deserves the chance to thrive at school. We advocate for students with disabilities who are too often marginalized or denied needed services. Through direct representation in disputes with schools, community education, and disability rights advocacy, we empower families to secure accommodations and supports that improve educational outcomes and well-being. These efforts reduce barriers, promote equity in education, and strengthen opportunities for children with disabilities to succeed both in school and in life.
