Navigation Florida Free Legal Answers empowers lawyers to give back
As civil legal needs soar across Florida, The Florida Bar is urging attorneys to take five minutes to make a difference — by signing up for Florida Free Legal Answers during National Pro Bono Week, October 19-25.
The online platform, modeled after a virtual walk-in clinic, connects volunteer lawyers with low-income Floridians who need brief legal advice on civil matters like housing, family law, and debt.
“Florida Free Legal Answers is a great way for lawyers, especially new lawyers who may not have the capacity for a lot of time in their firms, to log in and answer questions to assist the public, while meeting the aspirational goal of 20 hours of pro bono work mentioned in Rule 4-6.1,” says Florida Bar Programs Division Assistant Director Diana Kellogg.
