Legal Check-up

This award-winning program is a comprehensive one-on-one education session that helps clients identify legal issues before they become impediments to independent living.  The program targets newly-diagnosed individuals; evaluating current legal needs and knowledge gaps while providing information, education and referral resources. The program encourages individuals to become advocates for themselves and make informed choices that prevent future legal problems.

SONDEO LEGAL
Este galardonado programa es una sesión comprensiva de persona a persona que ayuda a los clientes a identificar asuntos legales antes de que se conviertan en impedimentos y amenacen la estabilidad de sus vidas. El programa se enfoca en las personas que han sido diagnosticadas muy recientemente; evaluando las necesidades legales inmediatas y la falta de conocimiento para informar, educar y referir al cliente a cualquier recurso. El programa motiva a individuos para que ellos mismos se conviertan en promotores y puedan hacer decisiones informadas para prevenir problemas legales en el futuro.
