Since CGA is a non-profit organization, the fee for service is
based upon each family’s ability to pay.
Installments are accommodated for those in need and for those
unable to pay, the service may be provided free of charge. A
portion of the fee collected is used to cover the volunteer
attorney’s expenses. The balance of collected fees, along with
charitable funds received, is used to pay CGA’s operating
expenses.
CGA’s services are limited to uncontested guardian advocacy for
persons with developmental disabilities in certain Florida
counties. CGA’s volunteer attorneys have agreed to provide their
services for only that limited purpose and will not address any
contested matter, or other legal issue, under their agreement with
CGA. Families confronted by such issues must seek independent
legal counsel for assistance.

You Can Help Too
Though this literature was written with family
members of those with developmental disabilities in mind, the Center
for Guardian Advocacy is striving to assure that these services may
also be made available to those with developmental disabilities who
have no family members able to act on their behalf. Please
contact the CGA if you would like more information on how you might
serve as guardian advocate for such a person with a developmental
disability.
