“I have property in another state and didn’t understand the legal paperwork. I was laid-off so I had no money for a lawyer. I found the People’s Legal Center who quickly referred me to an out-state lawyer willing to work with me encome level. The People’s Legal Center was very helpful. Without them I don’t know what I would’ve done.”
J. Rosaio
