LASPD is a nationwide program of the Chicago Legal Clinic, Inc., a not-for-profit law office, offering low-cost legal services to qualified seniors and people with disabilities.  Founded in 1981 by two law school classmates, Most Rev. Thomas J. Paprocki and Edward Grossman, to provide low-cost legal services, the Clinic now serves more than 16,000 clients each year.

The Clinic organized LASPD to stop unsecured creditors from threatening people whose income and assets are protected by law.  LASPD has already helped over 3000 clients achieve peace of mind.

The legal work at LASPD is directly supervised by Donald Leibsker, Legal Director and Jeff Whitehead, Supervising Attorney.
