We are so excited to be offering free legal help in neighborhood-based clinics again. In the coming weeks we are hosting several clinics on the west side of Cleveland, and brief advice clinics in Oberlin, Ashtabula, and Lorain. On May 7 our Naturalization Clinic will provide specialty advice for individuals needing help with applying for U.S. citizenship.
We’d love your help promoting Legal Aid’s advice clinics, so please feel free to share this information with your network. Here is a sample post to use for social media, you can just copy/paste this and share on your organization’s page!
