October 24, 2013
A lawyer from the Coeur d’Alene office of Idaho Legal Aid Services will be in Bonners Ferry on Monday, October 28, to meet with low-income Boundary County residents who have legal problems or questions.

Legal Aid’s lawyers provide free legal help with the following: problems with government benefit programs, including TAFI (welfare), Food Stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, Social Security, and county assistance; tenants’ problems with landlords, including evictions and repairs; foreclosures of subsidized mortgages; customer problems with utility companies; and problems dealing with creditors.

Those interested in meeting with the lawyer on the fourth Monday of each month can schedule a time to meet by calling the Bonners Ferry Food Bank at (208) 267-3663 or the Legal Aid office in Coeur d’Alene at (208) 667-9559. These telephone numbers may also be used throughout the month to seek legal help from Idaho Legal Aid Services for problems that cannot wait until the next monthly visit to Bonners Ferry.
