Get free legal advice

As a free resource to the community, volunteer attorneys will answer legal questions at no cost from 4 and 8 p.m. on Wednesdays in December, via a LegalLine E-Clinic, sponsored by the Dallas Bar Association.

To participate, you must complete the online form found here for the upcoming LegalLine. This month’s LegalLine E-Clinics are Dec. 7 and Dec. 14, between 4 and 8 p.m. The way it works is a volunteer attorney will call the participant to provide up to 15 minutes of free legal advice. Space is limited and registration will close at 12 p.m. on the Tuesday prior. Due to the holidays, there will be no LegalLine services on Dec. 21 or 28.

It is important to know that the volunteer attorney will remain anonymous. Participants should watch for a call from an unknown number that should be labeled "No Caller ID" or something similar. No attorney-client relationship will be established. It is not a guarantee that the attorney will speak any language other than English. Individuals seeking consultation may also receive referrals to local, legal, or social service agencies.
