During the National Pro Bono Week October 23-30, volunteers from across Florida will participate in free ask-a-lawyer events dubbed One-on-One Florida.
Organized by the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association, lawyers will analyze and evaluate individual’s legal problems and provide counsel and advice to get them moving in the right direction.
Attorneys interested in volunteering for their local One-on-One Florida programs should contact the pro bono coordinator at their local legal service organization or visit www.onepromiseflorida.org.
