LASP is a major regional resource for low-income and vulnerable people needing civil legal services in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.

“At its core, LASP is a human rights law firm, providing voices to those who are often voiceless in those forums where civil disputes are decided,” Boehringer said.  “The work of LASP is essential in ensuring that fundamental needs are met, including protection from abuse, stabilization of families, and maintenance of income and affordable and livable housing. LASP will remain a committed community partner advocating for fairness, equity, and due process for those who access our services.”
