NORWICH – The Legal Aid of Mid New York office has been providing service to Chenango County residents for years. In the past, the office, located in The Norwich Center at 27 W. Main St., was open one day a week, but now the agency is expanding its hours and service.

Pamela Maclaren has worked in the Legal Aid office for some time answering consumer-related questions. She deals with issues relating to housing, bankruptcy, divorce and other consumer-driven issues.

Amelia Leach is now joining the staff. Leach’s career history includes nursing work in both Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton and Chenango Memorial Hospital in Norwich. She will use her experience from those jobs to assist with Social Security income and disability. She will be available for any claims or questions regarding these or other issues.
