MARYLAND SENIOR LEGAL HELPLINE
A source of free legal advice: Maryland Senior Legal Helpline at mdjustice.org/node/629
Call the Maryland Senior Legal Helpline at (410) 951-7750 or 1-800-896-4213 ext. 7750
What it is: a free telephone service for persons living in Maryland aged 60 years or older.
How it works: When you call the Senior Helpline, you may talk to a lawyer for legal advice, brief legal services, or for a referral to another lawyer or to an appropriate public or private agency.
How it helps: The Helpline supplements the work of the Title III-B legal services programs by offering additional opportunities for legal assistance for seniors who ordinarily do not have ready access to a lawyer. By providing these services over the telephone, seniors may get some help for their legal problems without having to leave home. The Helpline will also coordinate existing sources of assistance to help resolve the legal problems of older people.
When to call:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Thursday: 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
