Our Central New York Victim Assistance Project (VAP) provides free civil (non-criminal) legal services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Clients generally must have low income and low resources, but we make exceptions in some cases. Legal problems we handle include family matters such as orders of protection, divorces, separations, child custody, and child support.
We provide free legal representation to clients who have been denied or terminated from SSD or SSI benefits. Because we get a large number of requests for representation, we cannot take every case. We will investigate your case for merit and determine if we are able to represent you at your hearing.

I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT George B. Haddad, Esq.. He is the most knowledgeable, kind-hearted & amazing attorney I have met. As if it wasn't enough dealing with COVID too, this last year of working with George , while trying and an emotional rollercoaster, he never waivered. He continued to stand for me, while I was down, NOW THAT'S DAMN GOOD ATTORNEY. Thank you again George and your whole office.
