A word from Camarin Madigan, President of the Board of CCSLS:
"They are often targeted for home-equity fraud or identity theft. Yet in these bleak financial times, fewer and fewer of our seniors can afford legal help when issues such as this arise or when in need of assistance with basic legal matters involving shelter, medical services and long-term care.
"CCSLS is the only organization in our county devoted to providing these essential legal services to the elderly. Its mission is to address legal problems that adversely affect basic needs of seniors, such as protection against physical and emotional abuse, financial fraud and protection from eviction.
"The free services provided by Contra Costa Senior Legal Services are critical to ensuring that this part of our community has access to justice in fundamental matters involving their welfare and security.
"Please join me to help continue these vital services by making a contribution today. I sincerely appreciate your generous support."

"There is a critical need for basic legal services for our low-income senior population. As a segment of our society, seniors are most likely to be victimized and unable to obtain legal services due to limited resources, impaired mental functioning, physical disability, or restricted mobility.
