Legal Hotline

Below is a list of legal hotlines for people over 60 in the states that presently have them. The service allows persons 60 and over, or people calling on their behalf to speak with an attorney about their legal questions or problems.

In addition to providing legal advice, your state's hotline may offer brief services such as document review, preparing letters and providing legal forms and they may be able to make a referral to a free legal services program or private atttorney. Some hotlines may limit their service to specific legal matters which are described in their informational boxes. The Senior Legal Hotline Directory is available as a PDF.
