Get out of Jail Free
Not quite, but at least you can get some free law advise. The Legal Referral Service of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and the New York County Lawyers' Association will hold a series of free legal information fairs the first week of May, in observance of National Law Day.
That week, volunteer attorneys will travel to Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx. Each location will offer residents an opportunity to consult with an experienced lawyer free of charge. Community leaders and representatives from local bar associations and other agencies will also be on hand. Residents can obtain guidance on many legal matters, including landlord/tenant disputes, wills & trusts, workers compensation, matrimonial, criminal law, immigration law, employment discrimination, small business issues, victim services, consumer law, and more.
A tent will go up outside local court houses the day of each fair to provide residents with convenient access to volunteer lawyers. For the benefit of local residents who may be in need of free legal advice, the Association is asking your news organization to kindly post the following schedule of fair locations on your community calendar:
Queens - Monday, May 2nd (11 a.m.-2 p.m.)
Queens Civil Court, 89-17 Sutphin Blvd.
Brooklyn - Tuesday May 3rd (11 a.m.-2 p.m.)
Brooklyn Borough Hall, 209 Joralemon Street.
Manhattan - Wednesday, May 4th (11 a.m.-2 p.m.)
Foley Square Park, facing 60 Centre Street.
Bronx - Thursday, May 5th (11 a.m.-2 p.m.)
