Our mission at LASP is to provide quality legal representation to low-income people, to empower them to solve problems without legal representation through legal education and increased access to the courts, and to change community practices and systems that cause or aggravate poverty.
LASP offers community legal education, staff in-service training and outreach about our services to a variety of groups in our four-county region. If you would like to schedule a LASP respresentative for an upcoming event, contact Harvey Strauss, Esq. at 610-275-5400 x117 or click on the Contact button below to send us an e-mail.
