Getting Free Legal Advice In New York

With New York having more than its fair share of lawyers putting their ads and banners

in every media market available it can be very frustrating for anyone to know where to turn for legal advice. Some attorneys will provide free legal advice New York residents can take advantage of but in more cases than not, what's suppose to be free actually carries a fee and can be found in the fine print. If you are looking for some really free legal advice here's some options you may want to check out.

Phone Contact

There are some attorneys and smaller firms that will provide free legal advice New Yorkers can take advantage of. For a better result in getting your free legal advice, it's recommended that you call closer to weeks end and during the summer months. This is mainly because of less scheduling and more workers such as interns with free time on their hands.

Legal Aid

Legal Aid is a government funded program that helps low income families with legal needs such as domestic violence, family law, divorce, employment issues, immigration, bankruptcy, and land-lord tenant disputes. There are many different legal organizations that also provide legal advice and aid to New York residents.

The New York Bar Association

The New York Bar Association holds clinics that are free but must be pre registered for. At one of these clinics, you will be able to talk with a New York state attorney for a half an hour about your legal needs. These clinics are limited to certain New York areas. You must also pre register for these clinics. There is no limit to how many you attend either but each visit requires registration/appointment.

The Internet

When it comes to getting free legal advice New York attorneys have partnered with internet companies to obtain potential clients. These internet companies request location and type of legal issue, as well as, some contact information. They will then send your information to one of their network attorneys that best match your needs. In hopes to acquire their services these attorneys will contact you and provide you advice on your legal issue.

The internet can also be used to research some legal matters. There is a huge amount of information on legal matters available on the web. However, a lot of this information is general and some may not apply to New York law, so you must be careful to search for New York law information.

A little knowledge can go a long way and these are just some of the options open for free legal advice New York residents can take advantage of. There are, in addition to these free services, some attorneys and legal firms that will provide legal advice to individuals for a minimal charge. You may also find some internet companies that will also charge a small fee for legal advice. It is always a good tip to try and get some legal advice before obtaining an attorney, as it could provide a savings to you when you do.
