Advice & Referral Hotline

CCLA operates a dedicated Hotline and receives calls from clients who face various legal issues. Although our staff handles calls during regular business hours, CCLA often receives calls after hours, on weekends or on holidays. CCLA needs volunteer attorneys, especially Spanish speaking, to answer/return phone calls. A volunteer attorney handling a phone call will gather information about the client, provide basic advice (if familiar with the area of law) and, when necessary, either place the client with a pro bono attorney from CCLA's Pro Bono Network or direct the client to a legal aid organization best suited to help with the legal issue.
