ORGANIZATION: Administer Justice

  • 22 people are interested

Help us offer the help of an attorney and the hope of God's love - serve virtually from anywhere, or choose a convenient location for an in-person experience!

Are you an active or inactive attorney looking to share your legal knowledge with the under served community? Are you ready to empower clients and make a difference in your community?

Our clients come to us because they have a civil, legal matter for which they need guidance. We see spouses looking for advice regarding divorce and single parents needing counsel on visitation and child support. We see elderly clients who have been victims of fraud and those who have lost what little they had to predatory lenders. We deal with landlord/tenant situations, contract disputes, custody enforcement, and many other civil issues. Volunteer attorneys provide brief advice, counsel, pro se coaching and referral in a 30-45 minute client appointment. Maximum 3-4 hours per month.

Without our services, many would do nothing about their situation which often turns into a major and complex issue. Any time you're willing to give makes a tremendous difference to those we serve!
