Get Free Legal Advice In Southfield

SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) - The Southfield Human Services Department, in partnership with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, will sponsor a free "Ask the Lawyer" legal aid clinic on Saturday, May 7 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm in the Southfield Pavilion, 26000 Evergreen Road.

This collaboration involves volunteer lawyers answering legal questions in one-on-one consultations with members of the public.

Members of Pi Tau Omega, the Southfield Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated, will handle the on-site registration and intake to ensure that citizens are able to meet with a volunteer lawyer that can answer their specific legal question.

In 1958, President Dwight Eisenhower established Law Day as "a day of national dedication to the principle of government under law." Commemorated annually since, Law Day programs are conducted throughout the country by bar associations, courts, schools and civic groups.

"With the rate of mortgage foreclosures and other financial difficulties facing Southfield residents, providing free legal aid is a more pressing need than ever," Southfield's Human Services Director Susan Cuevas said in a release.

Pre-registration is appreciated, but not required, by emailing southfieldaka@yahoo.com. For more information, contact Southfield Human Services at (248) 796-4540.
