The American Bar Association online program ABA Free Legal Answers, which lets qualifying users get civil legal advice online from volunteer attorneys, has expanded to offer help on immigration and veterans’ questions. The association said the project, called Federal Free Legal Answers, fills a critical need for legal help during the pandemic. For immigrants and asylum-seekers, questions about deportation, green cards, DACA and naturalization will be accepted. For veterans, eligible dependents and survivors, questions about benefits and discharge upgrades will be accepted. The project is a collaboration between several ABA committees and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Read more in a release from the ABA.
