Services

We work with clients in disability, unemployment, child support, and government benefits cases. In most cases, eligibility for services is based on an annual income at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. If you have a legal problem that we do not handle, we will refer you to another South Florida Legal Provider who may be able to help you.
