The Dallas Bar Association announced on Apr. 29 that volunteer attorneys will be available to answer legal questions during LegalLine E-Clinics held each Wednesday in May. The clinics are free for participants and offer up to 15 minutes of legal advice per person.
The initiative aims to provide accessible legal guidance to the public, particularly for those who may not otherwise have access to an attorney. According to the announcement, no attorney-client relationship will be established during these calls, but individuals may receive referrals to local, legal, or social service agencies if needed.
Calls from the clinic will remain anonymous and participants should expect a call from an unknown number labeled “No Caller ID” or something similar. To participate, individuals must complete an online form at https://shorturl.at/borO4 before noon on the Tuesday prior to their chosen clinic date. The scheduled dates for the clinics are May 6, May 13, May 20, and May 27 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
