or TTY call: 1-800-719-5798
Available Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday from 9:00AM – 3:00PM
Our intake line is closed on Wednesdays.
We may give you general information, referrals or self-advocacy materials. Although we may represent some individuals who call us, we cannot represent every person who contacts us.
 

To decide if we can represent you directly, we look at:

  • The merits of your case
  • Your ability to advocate for yourself
  • Other advocacy sources you can use
  • Whether your problem is a DRC priority
  • If DRC has resources to help
