Center for Elder Law and Justice: Meeting the Legal Needs of Older Adults

The Center for Elder Law and Justice (CELJ) is a dedicated organization focused on meeting the legal needs of older adults and advocating for their rights. With a commitment to promoting the well-being of seniors, CELJ offers a wide range of comprehensive legal services and resources.

CELJ's primary mission is to ensure that limited-income older adults have access to the legal assistance they require to navigate the complexities of aging. Through a multi-faceted approach, CELJ provides various services designed to protect the rights of older adults and empower them to make informed decisions about their lives.

A core component of CELJ's work is its team of compassionate attorneys who volunteer their time and expertise to assist elderly clients. These attorneys specialize in elder law and offer invaluable guidance on a variety of legal matters such as estate planning, healthcare directives, guardianship, and addressing instances of abuse and neglect. By providing free legal services, CELJ helps older adults secure their financial stability, safeguard their assets, and ensure their wishes are respected.

 

Outreach and Education: Equipping Older Adults with Knowledge

CELJ also places great emphasis on community outreach and education. Attorneys from the center deliver informative presentations on topics such as elder abuse prevention, financial exploitation, healthcare options, and housing rights. By raising awareness and equipping older adults with knowledge, CELJ empowers them to protect themselves and make informed decisions regarding their legal affairs.
