Friday Forum - Elizabeth Gonzalez: How Public Counsel Protects Consumer Rights and Economic Justice

Learn about ways Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights and Economic Justice Project serves Los Angeles County residents who are low-income. Supervising Staff Attorney Elizabeth Gonzalez will discuss the areas of practice we assist with, and will provide information about our free debt collection defense, foreclosure prevention, and bankruptcy clinics.

This is an information session and legal advice will not be provided. However, you will learn how to contact Public Counsel’s Consumer Rights and Economic Justice Project for assistance.
