Legal Advocates for Consumers in Debt (LACD) is a nationwide program of the Chicago Legal Clinic, Inc., a not-for-profit law office, offering low-cost legal services.  Founded in 1981 by two law school classmates, Most Rev. Thomas J. Paprocki and Edward Grossman, the Clinic now serves more than 16,000 clients each year and has served more than 175,000 clients over the past twenty-eight years. 

One of the greatest areas of need for people who cannot afford a private attorney is with respect to financial problems.  The Clinic is well suited to offer a broad range of legal representation to debtors, including bankruptcy, defense of a lawsuit, and our program specifically developed to deal with the debts of seniors and/or people with disabilities, Legal Advocates for Seniors and People with Disabilities ®.

We are now pleased to add our attorney supervised debt management plan, LACD, as another effective debt solution.
