How it works:
Anyone who is interested can call 224-321-5615 to pre-register, and applicants who are eligible for services will pick an appointment time to speak with an attorney. Walk-ins are also welcome, although priority will be given to pre-registrants.
We are able to serve Non-English speaking clients at Ask a Lawyer using a phone translation service called Language Line. We have bilingual staff at our office who are able to assist Spanish speakers who call in to pre-register, and we will have paper applications in Spanish for walk-in applicants.
