Guardianship
Guardianships. To qualify for a guardian, a person must be impaired in such a way that he is partially or totally unable to manage financial resources or meet essential physical health or safety requirements. Stringent standards apply. A petition must be filed when a guardian is necessary.

Criminal Defense
Traffic Violations
Identity Theft
Identity Theft: This presentation provides the actions recommended by law enforcement and the financial industry to help reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of identity theft.

Sexual Harassment
Employment law that addresses disputes in the workplace, such as worker’s rights, sexual harassment, workplace safety, unemployment compensation, the Family and Medical Leave Act, expungements, pardons, and wage claims.

Estate Planning
Students are supervised and provide free legal services to low-income adults ages 60 and older and/or clients’ family members. Services focus on advance planning for incapacity (including Powers of Attorney and Living Wills), simple estate planning, guardianship and related matters, Medical Assistance for long-term care, and grandparenting issues. Students also provide community presentations on elder law issues. Not all cases can be accepted for representation. No walk-ins, by appointment only.
Wills
Living Wills. Also called a treatment directive, a living will lists your wishes about end-of-life medical treatment. It is used if you no longer have the ability to make decisions or communicate. A living will can be written so as to refuse life-sustaining treatment if the maker is incompetent and either in a terminal condition or a state of permanent unconsciousness.
Power of Attorney
Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA). This written document authorizes an agent to handle certain types of transactions. General powers of attorney are broad and allow many types of transactions. Conversely, limited powers of attorney are for a specific task. The power of attorney is “durable” because it remains valid even after the person no longer has legal capacity to handle transactions, possibly due to an injury or illness. All powers of attorney executed since 1993 in Pennsylvania are durable unless stated otherwise.
