Contact Us
ELC welcomes contacts from people interested in ourwork. Here are some things you should know about contacting us:
- We can provide legal advice to only a limited number of callers through our Information and Referral service. However, you may find the help you need by checking our publications, our Frequently Asked Questions, and our links to other organizations.
- You can also contact us at 215-238-6970, or use our Inquiries Form. We’ll be glad to respond, but we may provide you with publications and/or referrals rather than personalized legal advice.
- If you contact us by telephone, you will be asked to leave a message in voicemail. Our Intake Coordinator (who is not a lawyer) will get back to you within two to four days. Because we have limited staff time, most callers will not speak with a lawyer.
- A telephone intake service for families of children with disabilities is available through the Disability Rights Network (DRN) at 1-800-692-7443. Please call DRN directly if you have special education questions, or call one of the groups on this list.
- If you’d like to get involved in one of ELC’s ongoing advocacy projects, please contact the person listed on our Agenda page.
