Miami Beach – CityDebate.Com – June 25, 2009 -
The Miami Beach Bar Association is pleased to announce that every first Wednesday of the month we offer the “North Beach Pro Bono Legal Program” hosted by UNIDAD  located at the Coral Rock House, 1701 Normandy Drive, Miami Beach. This program is in partnership with the “Put Something Back Pro Bono Project” and is made possible in part through a grant from the Florida Bar Foundation.
Our next Clinic will be Wednesday, July 1, 2009. The Clinic will be open from 9a to 4p, the first Wednesday of each month, to assist low income residents who cannot afford legal representation or obtain legal advice in civil court matters such as: family law
cases; children's matters requiring the appointment of Guardians Ad Litem in juvenile, probate and civil court; consumer and housing concerns; domestic violence matters for persons seeking permanent injunctions for protection; AIDS and other health crisis issues; social security and veterans benefits; employment matters; and the
preparation and processing of Living Wills.
An intake counselor will be available from 9 to 12:30 AM to determine income eligibility and possible referral in accordance with qualifications guidelines.
Miami Beach Bar Association attorneys will also be available for 15 to 20 minutes consultations and to respond to legal questions, and assist the low income and elderly/disabled in the preparation of living wills and designation of health care surrogates.
Interested residents should contact the Dade County Pro Bono Project at (305) 579-5733 ext. 2252 for further information. Attorneys interested in volunteering their time should contact Kathryn
Estevez, Esq. at 305.342.6993. |
