FREE October Legal Clinics in Nassau and Suffolk County!

September 27th, 2024

Legal Services of Long Island, formerly known as Nassau Suffolk Law Services, will be hosting two FREE legal clinics and a Legal Resource Fair this October.

Advance Planning Clinic

In Suffolk County, our Suffolk County Pro Bono Project is teaming up with volunteer attorneys and law students to provide eligible low-income Suffolk County residents with important advance planning documents including powers of attorney, health care proxies, standby guardians, and appointments of agents to control dispositions of remains. Spread the word by downloading our flyer.

Once a client is determined eligible, they can meet with a volunteer attorney or law student to have the advance planning document of choice completed, witnessed, and notarized the same day.

Interested Suffolk County residents should call (631) 232-2400 ext. 3331 by October 14th. Clients should leave their name and contact information and we will get back to them to set up an eligibility intake appointment. After an intake appointment is completed and eligibility is determined, clients will be invited to the advance planning clinic in late October which will be conducted in person at our Islandia office. If you or your clients have any questions, please email Suffolkprobono@legalservicesli.org and include the words "Advance Planning Clinic" in the subject line.

Interested in volunteering? If you are an admitted attorney, law student, paralegal or paralegal student and are interested in volunteering for the clinic, please contact Sharon Campo at scampo@legalservicesli.org.
