Program Description:

The Massachusetts Justice Project is a federally funded legal services hotline. We provide legal advice in only the following matters: landlord and tenant issues, evictions, divorce and custody cases, domestic violence, foreclosure, debt collection and bankruptcy, employment, and the termination or denial government benefits such as welfare or veterans benefits, SSI or social security, unemployment, section 8 and public housing, food stamps, mass health and Medicare. In some cases, we may be able to refer your legal problem to a lawyer for more extended service but in most cases we provide only advice and/or written self-help materials. To receive any such assistance, you must be low income.
