On Tuesday nights the WV State Bar operates the Tuesday Legal Connect. Volunteer lawyers take calls from the public, and offer suggestions and guidance about their questions. Every Tuesday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., lawyers volunteer their time to answer questions that are presented by the public toll free over the phone or using their computer or smart device. The lawyers listen to the citizens’ comments and questions. They help the callers assess:
- Whether the caller really does have a legal problem.
- Whether there are some simple steps the caller can take to try to solve their problem without a lawyer.
- Whether the caller really does need to have a lawyer to help them.
The volunteer lawyers can provide general legal information, but they cannot provide direct legal advice or legal assistance about your case. To give legal advice, a lawyer would need more information and details than a short telephone call can provide. To reach the Tuesday Legal Connect, call 1-800-642-3617.
If you would like to participate in Tuesday Legal Connect as an attorney, contact Cindy Withrow at 304-343-3013 ext. 2182
