Legal Advice Clinic

Legal Aid partners with the Cleveland Public Library to enhance understanding of the law by hosting a Legal Advice Clinic at a different library branch each month. 

Have a legal question?  Legal Aid has answers!

Visit a Legal Advice Clinic to chat with an attorney for brief advice about a civil legal problem related to money, housing, family, employment or other issues. This free clinic is first-come, first-served, no appointments needed. If the clinic is at capacity, those who arrive after the check-in hour may be referred to a future clinic. Please bring all important paperwork with you.
