As part of its ongoing tradition of pro bono and community legal assistance, the Nassau County Bar Association along with Nassau/Suffolk Law Services is inviting all Nassau County residents to a free legal Pro Bono FAIR (Free Assistance, Information and Referral) to be held on Thursday, October 25, 2012 in celebration of national Pro Bono Week. Nassau residents are invited to come to the Bar Association's headquarters at the corner of 15th and West Streets in Mineola, between 3 - 7 p.m. with a question and meet with an attorney one-on-one for legal guidance.
Dozens of attorneys knowledgeable in many areas of law will be available to meet with residents to provide information and refer them for more assistance if needed. Attorneys will not provide legal representation. Residents are invited to bring their questions about:
• bankruptcy and consumer debt
• divorce and family issues
• education and special education
• health and disabilities
• immigration
• mortgage foreclosure and housing matters
• senior citizen issues
Registration is required by calling 516-747-4070.
In addition, in its efforts to reach residents not proficient in English, bi-lingual attorneys fluent in Spanish, Russian, Haitian Creole, Korean, Chinese, Hindi and many other languages will be present at the Pro Bono FAIR upon request when calling to register.
