Short waiting lists (around 5 people) will be maintained in each week after available sessions have been booked.
*** Clients on the waiting list may not receive a phone call during the weekly two-hour session.
Few important things to remember:
-
You will be receiving a call from a blocked number any time between the session hours on the appointment day.
-
Please provide a safe number where attorney can leave a message if they cannot reach you, if you are not able to leave a safe number, please specify that no message should be left.
-
Pro Bono Project Lawyers cannot give any legal advice, if you are currently represented by an attorney.
Who Are the Lawyers?
Attorneys from the Pro Bono Project have generously donated their time to make Lawyers in the Library happen.
