Brief Advice Clinic

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

Have a legal question?  Legal Aid has answers!

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

Special thanks to volunteer attorneys for staffing this Brief Advice Clinic.

In the meantime, Legal Aid is open 24/7 online - taking intake applications at this link. Or, you can call Legal Aid for help during most business hours at 888-817-3777.
