On Tuesday, potential clients can take the first steps toward getting free legal aid on an array of potential issues by attending an event at the Buford-Sugar Hill Library.
An informational session will be held at the "Lawyers at the Library" event, hosted by Gwinnett Legal Aid, an arm of Atlanta Legal Aid, starts at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"They'll cover services that are available regardless of (a client's) income level," said Lazarus, attorney for Gwinnett Legal Aid.
"There will also be an opportunity for people to get a call back from an attorney. There's not going to be legal advice given that day in the library because there's a number other steps we have to take first to make sure there's no conflict."
The free legal aid applies to civil legal assitance, which covers a wide array of topics, including but not limited to: family law matters, domestic violence, debt lawsuits, landlord/tenant disputes, public benefits issues or estate planning.
A similar meeting will be held April 1 at the Five Forks Trickum branch at noon, and May 20 in Buford, which will be in Spanish.
