Legal Aid is offering a free Legal Aid Phone Clinic for residents of its eight-county district on June 23.
The district includes Bartholomew, Brown, Decatur, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Rush, and Shelby counties. The phone clinic will be from 3 to 5:30 p.m., though registration is required between noon and 1:30 p.m. The free clinics are for low-income residents.
The Legal Aid Clinic and Pro Bono Program utilizes local volunteer attorneys, offering free legal consultations to low-income individuals for the provision of legal advice and assistance in furtherance of equal access to justice within our community whom might not otherwise be able to afford the counsel of an attorney.
Individuals calling to the Legal Aid Phone Clinic can expect to receive a 10-minute consultation to answer general questions, offer legal information, or to receive other limited pro se assistance or advice, over the phone. Individuals must register by calling Legal Aid at 812-378-0358 between noon and 1:30 p.m. June 23. A volunteer attorney will then return the call between 3 and 5:30 p.m.
