ЮРИДИЧЕСКАЯ ПОМОЩЬ ПОЖИЛЫМ

В 24 штатах нашей страны, а также в округе Колумбия и в Пуэрто-Рико существуют специальные горячие линии юридической помощи тем, кому за 60 (большей частью они бесплатные, хотя некоторые и взимают небольшой сбор за услуги). Позвонив, пожилые люди могут задать опытному адвокату вопросы и обсудить с ним свои проблемы юридического характера. Хотя в обязанности консультантов не входит представительство стариков в суде, они советуют, куда им обратиться за помощью.
