State Bar Providing Free Legal Assistance
The Indiana State Bar Association will sponsor “Talk to a Lawyer Today,” a pro bono program to provide legal assistance to the underserved, as an annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
On Monday, Jan. 21, the program is an opportunity for attorneys statewide to offer free legal consultations to members of the general public who might not otherwise be able to afford the counsel of an attorney.
Established in 2002, “Talk to a Lawyer Today” is expected to have more than 200 attorneys providing 10 to 15 minute consultations to answer general questions and offer legal information for those who utilize this service.
In addition to the nearly 30 walk-in site locations across the state, a statewide hotline for both English and Spanish-speaking callers will be available by calling 1-800-266-2581 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.
