News update from Neighborhood Legal Services:
These trying economic times mean more Pennsylvanians on the lower end of the income scale need legal help with a range of issues from utility shut-offs to evictions, and an increase in calls to legal helplines reflect the rising needs.
The situation has prompted the Neighborhood Legal Services Association in Pittsburgh to expand services by staffing their help line two additional evenings each week. Association attorney Pam Dalton-Arlotti says demand for services is up 10 percent in the last year, and adds that in this dire economic climate, free legal help can be a lifeline.
NLSA provides help for residents of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence Counties. The toll-free help line number is 866-761-NLSA (6572). More information is also available online at www.nlsa.us.
