Legal Aid Builds Trust

Case Study: When a client contacts Cancer Legal Care, they often do not know what they need and are overwhelmed by their diagnosis and the collateral consequences. Tim was looking for legal advice on his entitlement to Social Security disability, but ended up getting help with his mortgage, vehicle, will, and insurance. Cancer Legal Care was able to help him increase his income from $9,000 a year on his employer’s disability insurance to $14,400 a year on Social Security Disability Insurance. They also connected him to the Angel Foundation to help him continue to make payments on his home while he strategized how to avoid foreclosure.
