Lakeshore's attorneys are trained to provide legal advice and counseling, document review and preparation, negotiation, mediation, representation in court, legal education presentations to community groups, and referrals to other available community resources. Lakeshore's attorneys aim to improve the legal status of every client, and to ensure the clients and their families are safe and secure in their homes. Lakeshore cannot provide legal assistance in criminal matters, and services may be limited by the number of attorneys and other resources available.
