Beginning on Wednesday, January 13
th,
Catalyst Community Partners (our friends from down the hall) and the law firm of
Gray, Plant, Mooty began a legal clinic in our 1200 West Broadway building. Initially, the clinic will be open the 2
nd and 4
th Wednesday of each month from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. These legal services are intended for low income North Minneapolis residents and will give them the opportunity to meet face-to-face with an attorney for a free 15-20 minute consultation. At the clinic the attorneys will answer questions and/or refer clients to other places for help. The options presented to those who attend will be determined by the specifics of their legal issues. Clients will be screened for financial eligibility and, if eligible, the consultation will be provided without charge. Some of the types of cases which clinic attorneys may assist with include: debt/bankruptcy law, civil law, consumer law, and housing law. Clients will be seen on a first-come-first-serve basis. Planning is in the works to make this a regular service for the North Minneapolis community. Additional information will be publicized when it becomes available.
If you have any additional questions related to the clinic’s operation in 1200 West Broadway, give Mike McCloskey a call at 612.877.4006.
