Legal Aid of Southeastern Pa. moves office
POTTSTOWN >> Maintaining its longtime presence in Pottstown while providing free parking and full handicapped accessibility, Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania recently moved its western Montgomery County office from King Street to 933 N. Charlotte St., Suite 2-A in Pottstown.
Shawn Boehringer, LASP executive director, stated, “LASP’s move in Pottstown answers questions we regularly ask: ‘What may be done to enhance services to clients, and how do we provide those services with the highest level of professionalism?’ The new office answers those question in a positive way. Staff will have improved space in which to work to address the difficult issues our clients present, and clients will have a better appreciation that their cases are handled in an environment befitting a wellrespected and established law firm.”
Pottstown Office Manager Jean Gauger noted that she’d worked out of 248 King St. for 38 years with both LASP and its prior iteration — Montgomery County Legal Aid Service (LASP formed in 2001 when Montgomery, Bucks, Chester and Delaware County legal services joined forces.)
Catherine Guido, managing attorney for the Pottstown office, and Donald B. Cheetham III, staff attorney, also are longtime members of LASP’s Pottstown team.
Pottstown Area Rapid Transit serves the new location on N. Charlotte St. (nearest cross streets: Lee Avenue and Grace St.), on the “Upland Square via North End” day line. The nearest bus stop is at the corner of N. Charlotte Street and Wilson Street.
Legal Aid of Southeastern Pennsylvania provides free civil legal services in Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
Through a centralized Helpline (1-877-429-5994) and attorneys based in all four counties, LASP provides quality legal representation to low-income and vulnerable clients in cases involving domestic violence, public benefits, housing, consumer and bankruptcy, employment, health, wills/ powers of attorney, juvenile and elder law.
