The State Bar of Georgia General Practice and Trial Law Section will host an "Ask-a-Lawyer" day in twelve cities in Georgia on Friday, October 21, 2011.

The free statewide advice clinic program is aimed at providing help to local low-income families and seniors. The General Practice and Trial Law Section is partnering with Georgia Legal Services and the State Bar of Georgia Pro Bono Project in hosting the event.

The General Practice and Trial Law Section proclaims itself "Georgia's Largest Law Firm." It is one of the largest sections of the State Bar of Georgia.

The free advice clinics will be held in Albany, Augusta, Brunswick, Dalton, Douglasville, Gainesville, Macon, Rome, Savannah, Valdosta and Waycross. Other locations may be added.

At last year's Ask-A-Lawyer Day, over 120 lawyers from the State Bar section volunteered their time to provide free consultations to over 300 clients in the areas of consumer law, wills and powers of attorney, and family law.
