On an as-needed basis, if a person is unable to attend one of our Talk-to-a-Lawyer Clinics in person, we will try to find a volunteer attorney that can call you for a free consult. Most consults take place Wednesday through Friday during work hours. Pre-registration required! Call 315-579-2575 to make an appointment.
