Beginning last Monday night, I started volunteering with an excellent program at the New York City Bar Association called “Monday Night Law.” The attorney volunteers (such as myself) provide free legal counseling on Monday evenings for low-income city residents on a variety of topics such as bankruptcy, consumer issues, matrimonial, basic employment and landlord-tenant.
While we cannot provide actual legal representation, we do give legal advice that educates individuals about their legal issues, or at least points them in the right direction to obtain additional help.
If you qualify and need assistance with a legal issue, call (212) 626-7373 (English) or (212) 626-7374 (Spanish). Unfortunately, walk-ins are not permitted.
