Three Free Legal Aid Clinics Coming to Lorain County This October

Legal Aid will hold three free brief advice clinics in Lorain County this October. Brief advice clinics are opportunities for people to meet one-on-one with a Legal Aid staff or volunteer attorney and receive free assistance with their civil legal issues.

The first clinic will be held on Tuesday, October 8^th from 2:00pm – 3:30pm at Oberlin Depot (240 South Main Street, Oberlin, OH 44074). This clinic is sponsored in part by Oberlin Community Services and will be staffed by local volunteer attorneys. The second free clinic will be held on Thursday, October 10^th from 2:00pm – 3:30pm at the Nord Center (6140 South Broadway, Lorain, OH 44053) and the third will be held on Tuesday, October 22^nd from 2:00pm – 3:30pm at El Centro (2800 Pearl Avenue, Lorain, OH 44055).

Anyone experiencing a civil legal issue is invited to attend these clinics. Examples of common civil legal issues include landlord-tenant conflicts, difficulty accessing social security benefits, and filing for divorce based on domestic violence. Of note, these sessions will not cover cases related to criminal matters. Attendees should bring any and all relevant paperwork with them.

Legal Aid’s goal is to provide civil legal help when and where people need it. When civil legal problems threaten one’s safety, health, housing, education, employment, or financial stability, Legal Aid prevents these problems from escalating and often reverses the negative impacts. Thanks to the support of the philanthropic community, all clients receive services at no cost.
