Legal Clinic for the Homeless

Meet with a lawyer for free at the next Legal Clinic for the Homeless. This event is organized by Lawyers Clearinghouse. 

December 1, 2017
Event Date2017-12-01T09:30:00

On the day of the clinic, please bring any and all paperwork that might relate to your legal problem. Lawyers Clearinghouse will try to help with most legal issues but do not take on family law or criminal cases.

How it works
  1. Lawyers meet with clinic clients seeking help with civil legal issues.
  2. The lawyers then meet with legal services experts and staff. They discuss the cases and form potential strategies.
  3. Clients work with volunteer lawyers to access housing, receive benefits, seal their records, and more, at no cost to the client.
