For many years, I was a staff attorney with UAW Legal Services Plans (UAWLSP) in Indianapolis. The legal services benefit was a casualty of the bargaining process in the last contract between the automakers and the UAW. UAWLSP stopped taking new cases at the end of 2013 and has been closing cases and phasing out operations ever since. The website at www.uawlsp.com has apparently not been updated since sometime in 2013. Unfortunately, this means that plan members have no easy way of finding out the status of their local legal services office, and they may not know what happened to their files and the attorneys who served them for many years. The last thing that I heard is that UAWLSP will continue in at least nominal existence through at least part of 2015, but some local offices may be closed in the meantime. If you are looking for an ex-UAW Legal Services (ex-UAWLSP) attorney, even if you are outside of my area, send me an email through my webpage at www.hoferlawindy.com, and I will either try to find your old attorney or find you a new attorney through my contacts at the National Association of Consumer Advocates.
IF YOU ARE A FORMER UAWLSP ATTORNEY AND YOU HAVE JOINED A NEW LAW FIRM OR STARTED YOUR OWN PRACTICE, PLEASE POST A COMMENT IN THE SPACE BELOW INCLUDING YOUR NAME, OFFICE ADDRESS, PHONE, WEBSITE URL, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW. I will be happy to link blogs with you. Gee, that sounds kind of dirty.
(Note to the Python folks. Don’t sue me for using the picture, just tell me to take it down if it bothers you. I’ve spent a lot of money on Python stuff. Be nice to me.)
