This
guide has been written to provide Monroe County legal and human
services professionals and the community-at-large information to
make appropriate referrals to non-profit agencies and offices providing
direct and indirect legal services.
The
majority of services listed are offered to the public on a low or
no fee basis, with personal income as the most common criterion
for determining client eligibility. In cases where a person's income
or asset level exceeds the established maximum, contact with a private
attorney should be made. Legal referrals can be obtained through
the Lawyer Referral & Information Service.
This
guide was orginally published in March 2000 by the President's Commission
on Access to Legal Services of the Monroe County Bar Association
and funded by a grant from the Foundation of the Monroe County Bar.
We
hope that this guide is of assistance to you. We are most anxious
to provide you with the best possible information on available legal
services and would appreciate your comments where descriptions offered
are not in accord with services listed, or if certain services familiar
to you do not appear. Only through cooperative efforts can we provide
accurate information that will assist in making you more aware of
the availability of legal assistance. Feel free to contact
us.
