The TBA Young Lawyers Division, Chattanooga Bar Association Young Lawyers, Legal Aid of East Tennessee, La Paz and the Tennessee Supreme Court Access to Justice Initiative partnered to put on a family law advice clinic at Hamilton County Family Justice Center on April 23. Volunteer attorneys met with clients to give free counsel, advice and brief service on a wide range of family law topics. Other community partners, like American Job Center and Her Song were also onsite to provide clients with other resources. Eighteen attorneys volunteered their time, the equivalent of more than $10,000 in donated services. "I appreciate to have a place to go and ask questions freely without feeling any judgment," one client wrote. "Thank you all for your kindness and service."
