建议 & Referral Clinic
It is estimated that about 70 percent of individuals requesting free legal assistance require only brief services—not full representation—to solve their legal problems. D.C. 酒吧 公益性服务 Center 建议 & Referral Clinic offers 箴se individuals the opportunity to discuss with volunteer attorneys certain kinds of matters governed by D.C. or federal law, including bankruptcy/debt collection, 消费者法律, employment law, 家庭法, 卫生法律, 房地产法律, personal injury, 遗嘱认证, public benefits, 还有税法. All services are provided free of charge.
The clinic is limited to providing general information, 建议, and brief services, and does not provide representation.
Providing “brief services” may not always be achievable by the end of the clinic session. 例如, calling a third party or government agency to ascertain information about a client’s matter, writing a demand letter to a landlord or a judgment-proof letter to a creditor, or reviewing a contract or settlement agreement may require some of the volunteer attorney’s time after the clinic. 然而, clinic volunteers do not appear in court or otherwise establish an extended attorney-client relationship unless they wish to do so.
If brief service is not enough to resolve the problem or if a different type of service is required, clinic volunteers attempt to refer individuals to, or provide information about, a legal or social service provider appropriately suited to handle the case.
Local legal service providers also benefit from the 建议 & Referral Clinic, since it lessens the number of individuals walking into their organizations, allowing those practitioners to spend more of their resources representing clients instead of providing general information, 建议, and brief services.

建议 & Referral Clinic volunteers must be associated with a participating organization. Please refer to the list of clinic participants. If you are associated with a clinic participant, please contact that organization’s pro bono or volunteer coordinator to arrange to volunteer for the clinic. If you are not an employee or member of a participating organization, ask your employer, 酒吧里社区, voluntary bar association, or other organization to become a clinic participant.
