Case Counseling

Our case-counseling program sets us apart from many other legal service providers. Each volunteer is assigned a supervising attorney, a staff attorney with a number of years of experience navigating poverty law in the District. Each case-counseling attorney is available to talk about a plan of action, give advice about the best people to contact, or merely listen to your ideas and frustrations.

After each intake session you should contact your supervising attorney to:

1) confirm any follow-up needed;

2) seek advice on a client’s legal matter; and

3) discuss any potential conflicts or problems with assisting a client.
