1/11/2026: Dude at the front desk needs to mind his attitude when talking to people. Also if you’re closed put that on the website! I just came all the way downtown for nothing Update 1/20/2026: Have gone again and the same dude was there but he was nicer. Informed me that they only do intakes on Monday-Thursday (which doesn’t match the website or the sign they have on the door) and they only take 5 cases a day. Update 1/22/2026: Went again. Got there before they even opened up. The guy let me come in at 8:24, and he was just about to have me fill out the paperwork when someone came along and informed him that they were closing intakes today. BEFORE THEY EVEN OPENED! Like im sorry that’s extremely unprofessional of them. And im getting tired of having to travel downtown just to be there

I've used community legal services twice in the past, once for a tenant/landlord issue (landlord wanted to sell property and gave me 16 days to move) and once for a custody issue, both times CLS were able to help and received favorable outcomes in court,CLS helped me get 6 months to move and obtain custody of my niece (which was a 2 year process not due to CSL but the court system). The process of dealing with Philly Courts isnt fast or easy, so you need patience and you may need to spend a few hours for each appt but totally worth it.

Good evening Google family. I visited today to take care of a business matter. Enrique was the paralegal who assisted me. I received assistance and everyone was congenial. I did a bit of networking with Tanya who was sitting at the front desk. They have many individual offices and a clean restroom. I completed my business and I left. I did my workout dance for the security staff. Have a good night, workout, be healthy, fit and Fabulous.

After weeks of reaching out to Philly Tenant, L&I, Fair Housing I was't given one piece of solid advice or help, instead, not one organization even considered helping (or doing their jobs). It was not until I reached out to a City official that I knew and asked for any help, as I was lost. Her colleague texted me everyday, as did she, to ensure things were moving forward, and soon connected me with Jacob from CLS. He was amazing, caring, understanding, blunt and honest regarding my case and offered to represent me for a Fair Housing hearing 2 weeks away. He also connected me with Ms. Tiffany to handle my Municipal Case. Tiffany was amazing and knew my case before even speaking. She was blunt, forward and honest regarding HR determination of outcome ( which is what I needed) and gave me

Sat there waiting for 3 hours. Just to be brought to the back & told I couldn't receive help. But wanted me to give a 5 star review. Absolutely NOT!
