Jacqueline
"LSGMI helped me keep my disability benefits.”
Sixty year old Jaqueline Gedin suffered from numerous ailments which left her unable to work. With no income she soon became homeless. Ms. Gedin’s claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability was filed in 2006, but was denied despite the severity of her ailments. LSGMI gathered the necessary medical evidence and represented Ms. Gedin at an administrative hearing, arguing that the evidence clearly showed that she suffered from severe impairments that rendered her unable to work. As a result of LSGMI’s advocacy, Ms. Gedin received a favorable decision and was awarded the maximum amount of SSI benefits, as well as a retroactive award of almost $12,000. With LSGMI’s help, Ms. Gedin is no longer homeless.

Community Legal Education Project
Through the Community Legal Education Project, individuals learn about their legal rights and responsibilities, enabling them to avoid legal problems and understand how to resolve them when they occur.
Legal Education Institute
The Legal Education Institute develops educational programs and workshops for the staff of social service providers who are often the low income population’s only link to mainstream society. This training helps them teach their clients how to avoid legal problems, identify situations where legal counsel is necessary, and know where to turn when legal help is needed.
This project is funded in part by The Sain Orr Royak De Forest Steadman Foundation.
Small Claims Court Clinic
The Small Claims Court Clinic offers low income individuals free legal advice from pro bono attorneys on how to file or defend small claims court matters. Common problems resolved by the clinic include worthless checks from employers, landlord/ tenant disputes involving money, and auto repair disputes.
This project is funded by the Legal Services Corporation and is a joint project with Dade Legal Aid Put Something Back.
