The Legal Hotline for Michigan Seniors relies on the
generous support of caring citizens
like you. There are many ways that you can help us as we help Michigan
seniors. Even if you can't volunteer your time, there
are still many ways that you can help.
Legal Volunteer
Law Students and Paralegals assist our attorneys by doing research,
writing publications, and helping clients with additional services.
About 15% of all of our cases receive some additional assistance from
a legal volunteer or one of our attorneys. We work closely with Thomas
M. Cooley Law School and Michigan State University's College of Law
to recruit law students to assist us in our work. If you are interested
in volunteering as a legal volunteer, please contact
us or send an email to volunteer@elderslaw.org.
General Volunteer
Retirees, undergraduate students, high school students, and others volunteer
assist the Legal Hotline with answering the phones, preparing mailings,
drafting non-legal documents, participating in our client survey process,
and other special projects. General volunteers throughout the state
assist the Legal Hotline by helping with programs to tell seniors in
their area about the services that are available. If you are interested
in volunteering as a general volunteers, please contact
us or send an email to volunteer@elderslaw.org.
Pro Bono Attorney-Statewide
Attorneys throughout the state assist the Legal Hotline by agreeing
to help a senior in their area who needs additional legal services.
This may include assisting with a legal document or helping to resolve
a legal matter. If you are interested in volunteering as a pro bono
attorney for your area, please contact us
or send an email to attorneypanel@elderslaw.org.
Pro Bono Attorney-In-office
Attorneys in the Lansing area assist the Legal Hotline
by coming into our office for a few hours during the week and giving
advice to our clients over the telephone. If you are interested in volunteering
as a pro bono attorney for your area, please contact
us or send an email to attorneypanel@elderslaw.org.
If
You Can't Volunteer Your Time
Even if you aren't able to volunteer your time, you
can still help the Legal Hotline.
Make a Donation
The Legal Hotline only receives a portion of its funds
from the government. We rely on the generous support of people like
you to continue our service. You can make your donation online
or by sending a check by mail to The Legal Hotline for Michigan Seniors,
3815 West St. Joseph, Ste C200, Lansing, MI 48917.
Donate Office Supplies
The Legal Hotline is always in need of copy paper, file folders, copier
toner, and other office supplies. We are also looking for a office equipment
in good working order, like a copier and fax machine. If you are able
to assist us by providing any of these necessary materials, please contact
us.
Tell A Friend
One of the best ways that we have found to get the word out about the
Legal Hotline and its wonderful services is by word of mouth. If you
know a person age 60 or older in need of free legal advice, tell them
about the Legal Hotline and encourage them to call us at 1-800-347-5297.
Help Us Tell Others
If you are a client of the Legal Hotline and would like to help us by
allowing us to use your name and story to tell others about the work
that we do, please contact us.
