Self-Help Consumer Law Clinics

Our consumer law clinics can help with problems such as bankruptcy, frozen bank accounts, debt problems, student loans, ID theft, car problems, utility shutoffs and other consumer problems. At the clinic you get a chance to talk to a lawyer or paralegal about your legal problem.

When and Where Are The Clinics Held?

Our Syracuse office holds consumer law clinics for low-income people who live in Onondaga and surrounding counties. Our Binghamton office also holds consumer clinics, for people who live in Broome and surrounding counties. Arrangements can be made to attend these clinics either in person or over the telephone.

How Do I Sign Up?

To find out if you qualify for our clinic, please call our Legal HelpLine at:

Toll Free: 1-877-777-6152

When listening to the message prompts, select the option to Attend A Free Clinic and you will be transferred to
an Intake Specialist who will assist you with your eligibility screening.

Please note that we can only help you if you qualify for our services.

An intake worker will talk to you first to see if you qualify.

Because our staff is limited, we still may not be able to take your case. In some cases, our services may be limited to advice only.

If we can't take your case, we will try to give you information about other places that may be able to help you.
