AARP affiliate Legal Counsel for the Elderly reaches a milestone.

By Elise Ceyral, AARP. Published May 29, 2025.

Ingrid Swinton had been living in her Washington, D.C., apartment for about five years when she learned she could be evicted. Some of the money she sent to her landlord each month for rent was applied to parking and other fees, putting her rent in arrears and resulting in additional late charges.

Her landlord filed suit to evict her. “There was no way I could go before the judge because I don’t know the law,” Swinton says. Enter Legal Counsel for the Elderly (LCE), an AARP affiliate dedicated to providing older D.C. residents with free legal service.
