  • Free for LASP Staff & pro bono volunteers who help at a LASP clinic or take a case, or $20 donation: bit.ly/cle-donation.

The training will provide practical advice for assisting tenants at eviction hearings in Bucks, Chester, Delaware & Montgomery counties.

Rising housing costs make eviction one of the biggest issues facing low-income residents in the Philadelphia suburbs. Tenants with representation are shown to get better outcomes in MDJ court.

Gaining extra time in the home or lowering costs and fees can have a significant impact for LASP clients.

Presenters:

  • Kelly Young, LASP Staff Attorney based in Chester County

  • Hon. Mackenzie Smith, Magisterial District Court 15-1-02

  • Cassidy Heiserman, LASP Staff Attorney based in Delaware County & Delco Pro Bono Coordinator
