Midpenn Legal Services

Overview

Midpenn Legal Services in Reading, PA, is a dedicated attorney practice committed to ensuring that every resident—especially those with limited financial means—can access quality legal representation. With deep roots in Berks County, our mission is simple: empower individuals and families facing housing disputes, workplace injuries, and other civil matters by offering expert guidance, compassionate support, and, whenever possible, free legal services.

Services & Specializations

At Midpenn Legal Services, we concentrate on areas where low-income clients often struggle to find affordable help:

• Landlord-Tenant & Eviction Defense: We guide tenants through lease negotiations, defend against unjust evictions, and help protect families’ homes.
• Workplace Accident Representation: When employees suffer on-the-job injuries, we pursue full compensation at no cost to qualifying clients.
• Civil Legal Referrals: If a matter falls outside our direct scope, our team will connect you with trusted local attorneys who specialize in the assistance you need.

Our focused practice ensures we deliver depth of knowledge and strategic advocacy precisely where it matters most.

Empowering Low-Income Clients

For many, legal fees present an insurmountable barrier. Midpenn Legal Services bridges that gap by offering free representation to qualifying individuals. As one client put it, “They help when they can if you’re low income!” and another celebrated, “…an attorney represented me for FREE and we won.” By removing financial obstacles, we transform stress into success—turning an overwhelming legal challenge into a story of resilience and justice.

Responsive Support & Accessibility

We understand that legal crises rarely wait for business hours—yet no one should endure interminable hold times or unanswered messages. In response to past feedback (“They do not answer their phone… only the music is on”), we have:

• Upgraded our phone system to reduce wait times
• Expanded staff coverage across peak hours
• Implemented an online inquiry portal for instant case screening

When our lines are clear, clients often experience immediate assistance without hold times. As one satisfied caller noted, “You don’t have to wait or get put on hold to talk to someone. They helped me right away.”

Professionalism & Client-Centered Approach

Every interaction at Midpenn Legal Services is grounded in respect and active listening. Our team undergoes regular training in customer care to ensure even routine inquiries are met with courtesy and clarity. We’re proud that clients who do connect with us describe their experience as “very helpful, courteous, and professional legal service” and “an excellent resource.”

Attorney Summer exemplifies our client-first philosophy. Known across Reading for her warmth, dedication, and results, she has earned accolades such as “Summer is the best Lawyer hands down!!” Whether negotiating an eviction stay or negotiating a settlement for a workplace injury, Summer’s empathy and strategic insight consistently give clients confidence when they need it most.

Success Stories & Community Impact

The true measure of our work lies in the lives we touch:

• A single mother facing eviction was able to stay in her home after our team negotiated a payment plan—turning uncertainty into stability.
• A construction worker injured on site received full compensation through our zero-fee workplace accident representation.
• A veteran searching for civil advice beyond eviction law was swiftly referred to a pro bono partner, ensuring no one leaves our doors without guidance.

By delivering these outcomes, Midpenn Legal Services reinforces its role as a pillar of support for Reading’s most vulnerable residents. We don’t simply resolve cases—we restore peace of mind and strengthen community bonds.
