In-person Manhattan CLARO programs are suspended due to COVID-19 until further notice. Manhattan CLARO is currently providing some legal advice by telephone to a limited number of individuals with consumer debt issues. If you are experiencing a consumer debt issue in Manhattan, please contact us at (929) 388-0885. For consumer debt issues in other counties, please visit the county-specific webpages for more information.

Manhattan 

We recommend that you contact CLARO as soon as you become aware that there is a case against you, if possible before filing your Answer with the Court. If you have already filed your Answer don't worry, just contact CLARO as soon as you can - the earlier the better. And if you only realize there's a case against you once a default judgment has been entered and your wages or bank account are being garnished, it's not too late - CLARO can still help.
