LA Law Library, located in downtown Los Angeles, hosts Lawyers in the Library one Friday each month where volunteer attorneys are available for free consultations (up to 20 minutes) with people who have legal problems to discuss but do not have a lawyer representing them. This program is not a substitute for legal representation.
Consultations are limited to twice per year per person.
Lawyers may not have experience in all areas of law.
No advance phone reservation or appointment is necessary. Participants register on the day of the program and will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis, according to topic.
Remember to bring all related documents and forms! Come prepared with all questions written down: time is limited.
