Service Information

Legal Services
Janis Garcia, an elder law lawyer who has begun and worked on legal services programs for more than one organization over the years and Bob Gottsfield, retired Superior Court Judge who has volunteered at Andre House on a weekly basis since 1990, are volunteer co-coordinators of the new Andre House legal services program providing pro bono lawyers to meet with guests in their areas of specialty. Experience from similar programs have shown that 60 percent or more of guests do not make the first appointment if they have to travel to a lawyers office.

Lawyers are on-campus to meet with guests on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 10:00 am to noon.


Mission Statement: We dedicate ourselves to serving Jesus through others, as we are challenged in the Gospel: "I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you took care of me. I was in prison, and you visited me." (Matthew 25:35-36)
