(Oakland County Bar Association Press Release, Sept. 25, 2014)
Not everyone can afford to hire an attorney to answer their legal questions. That is why the Oakland County Bar Association (OCBA), in partnership with Oakland County Youth Assistance, will host three free Legal Aid Clinics throughout Oakland County during the month of October – Pro Bono Recognition month. The first will be held on Tuesday, October 7 at the Ferndale Public Library in Ferndale. Additional clinics will be held Tuesday, October 14 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Lake Orion and on Monday, October 20 at the Southfield Public Library in Southfield. All clinics will run from 4:30 – 7:00 p.m.
During these free clinics, attorneys and legal aid providers will be on site to provide basic legal information as well as brief advice and counsel in the areas of juvenile, family, probate, criminal, general civil and landlord/tenant matters. Oakland County residents with legal questions are urged to attend these clinics and speak with an attorney volunteer or a representative from Legal Aid and Defender Association, Lakeshore Legal Aid or the Family Law Assistance Project.
