The times and dates of our legal clinic vary depending on the topic you need advice on. Contact us via the helpline (1800-777-5555) to learn more. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the workers` rights clinic in your area can only offer legal advice over the phone. We will confirm the location of your appointment when scheduling. “Volunteering at the legal clinic gives us the opportunity to meet people who need legal advice whose situation is very different from that of our business clients,” said Aurelien Lorenzi, a Latham employee. “And this exposes us to unusual, often urgent, legal situations and issues, as the person sitting in front of us is often in a very bad legal, financial and/or health condition.” AWARE offers free legal advice to women on these issues: family law, domestic violence, Sharia law and other personal issues. Our volunteers are experienced lawyers who can help you understand your legal rights and options through a free, 20-minute, one-stop general consultation. The legal system can intimidate and overwhelm anyone – we`re here to find the answers and find the solutions you need. Don`t get buried in the details.

However, our lawyers can advise you in different sessions on different topics, such as divorce in one session and protection orders in another session.
Please note, however, that you are unlikely to see the same lawyer twice. Lawyers and other lawyers who occupy the Emergency Rights Legal Clinic have 30 to 45 minutes to meet with each client during the three hours that are open every other Wednesday. “We listen to their story and try to help them,” Lorenzi said. Emergency Rights provides each legal clinic volunteer with training materials and precedents to help them meet the individual needs of each client, and a qualified staff member is always available to support the volunteers. “Sometimes clients need help formulating the right questions, writing a letter, filling out a form or understanding their legal issues and how to improve their situation. The support we provide is not always technical legal advice.
