The Saturday Lawyer Program provides low-income Atlantans with free top-notch legal assistance. Our volunteer attorneys help with landlord-tenant disputes, and more.
NOTE: The Saturday Lawyer Program has gone virtual! We’re pairing volunteer attorneys with low-income Atlanta tenants via video conferencing. Watch the video below to learn more about the program.
DONATE TO THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL JUSTICE
Low-income tenants too often face illegal evictions, unlawful withholding of security deposits, or unsafe living conditions that go unaddressed by their landlords.
Our Saturday Lawyer Program recruits volunteer attorneys to help low-income Atlantans obtain the justice they deserve.
On Saturday mornings, volunteer attorneys receive a short training, then meet one-on-one* with potential clients to learn more about their legal problems. If the case seems viable, we partner clients with volunteers for further legal advice, counsel, and representation.
*During the COVID-19 crisis, our volunteers are meeting with clients virtually.
