Duty Counsel

A Legal Aid lawyer available at the courthouse to provide brief advice and limited representation to low-income parties on the day of court. Free, but limited in scope — not a substitute for retained counsel.

This is legal information, not legal advice. Litigent is not a law firm. For strategic advice on your case, retain a family lawyer.
