Our mission is to promote inclusion, independence, and justice for low-income people with disabilities, chronic health conditions, mental health diagnoses, and the deaf and hard of hearing in the Philadelphia region.

Get Started
LCD advocates for and with the community through our knowledge of the law and understanding of the nuanced needs of people with disabilities and the under-served. We provide solutions that offer hope and transparency to our clients. We also provide a place where communication and empowerment are welcome, and a belief in change and accessibility is encouraged.
Eleanor’s Story
When the basement of Eleanor’s home flooded, she called in a repair service. They botched the job, but that didn’t stop them from keeping Eleanor’s money. Because she is blind and low income, the company never imagined Eleanor could hire a lawyer to get justice. They were wrong.
