In-Person Advising

Our attorneys attend a county court near you on certain dates. They cannot represent you in court but can meet with you for approximately thirty minutes. All you need to do is show up—no need for advance notice or check-in.

During your session, our attorney can answer your questions, review matters, and prepare legal documents.

All information you discuss with us remains confidential.

Call-In Advising

Similar to our in-person advising, except our advising is conducted over the phone.

See the list below to find which counties offer in-person advising and which offer call-in advising.

There are three requirements:

(1) Your income must be within 200% of the federal poverty rate; and

(2) You must have a civil case; and

(3) You must either: (a) reside in one of our counties; or (b) have a legal matter in the jurisdiction of one of our counties.

To help us solve your problem, you should attend the county clinic that you either reside in or have an active legal matter in.

Generally, it is best to bring all relevant information that pertains to your case.

While we are able to find the details of your case online, ensuring that we have every important document will put us in the best position to solve your legal problem.

Consider bringing a folder and/or a list of key points or issues to discuss with our attorneys. In some cases, we will provide you with legal forms. Having a folder or bag for these forms will help safeguard them.

The federal poverty rate is calculated by your income and members in your household. Due to government requirements, your income must be within 200% of the federal poverty rate to receive our services.

To be applicable, your household income must be less than or equal to:

1 Household Member (Yourself) – $30,120

2 Household Members – $40,880

3 Household Members – $51,640

4 Household Members – $62,200

5 Household Members – $73,160

Please note that all household income is included in calculating these numbers. To see official rates, click the button below.

Essentially, civil cases are cases that are not criminal cases. This means that we provide services for cases ranging from bankruptcy and evictions all the way to adoptions, child support, and protective orders. Please note that most of our “counsel in the court” clinics are limited to family law, with the exception of a couple counties. Each county below lists the type of law covered.

Family law cases involve legal disputes or proceedings related to family relationships, such as divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, adoption, guardianship, and the division of marital property. These cases often address issues of rights, responsibilities, and the welfare of family members.

If you’re concerned that your case may not apply, please reach out to us.

A conflict arises when a lawyer's duties to one client are at odds with their duties to another client, a third party, or their own interests, creating a risk of impaired representation or ethical violations. In practice, this typically means we have given the opposing party in your case legal advice.

Although very rare, there is a possibility that we may have a conflict. If we have a conflict, we cannot assist you.

Again, this is very uncommon, and if you have any concerns please reach out to our office.
