Justice for All
Not everyone can afford an attorney, but everyone should be able to obtain a basic understanding of their legal circumstances and how to deal with them. The purpose of the consultations is to foster that understanding for people who are unfamiliar with the legal resources available to them and unable to otherwise obtain advice.
Swifter Justice
Our free consultations at the Self Help Center benefit everyone in the legal community. Valuable time and resources are drained from judges and magistrates who must deal with pro se litigants unable to file the proper paperwork in a timely manner, unaware of the necessary procedures, and unfamiliar with courtroom protocol. The more we can inform people, the better.
Case Types
We see many different types of cases. Examples of some of the types of cases we may help you with include:
- Immigration Services
- Landlord/Tenant

- Family Law

The attorneys cannot represent the customer in court, but may provide referrals to attorneys, if needed. Legal consultations will not be provided for criminal cases, intellectual property or maritime matters.
