We are about to launch another Union City Law Day in conjunction with Senator and Union City Mayor Brian Stack, the Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey, the Hudson County Bar Association the Office of the Public Defender and others. We hope that you will be willing to help again. If you are available to volunteer, please click on this link and complete the form.
The 2025 program will be held on Wednesday, September 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Union City High School. For those of you who have done this before, you will recall that hundreds of residents of Union City and the surrounding area have attended.
Upwards of 95% of the residents of Union City are Spanish-speaking and many are not fluent in English. We need bilingual, Spanish-speaking attorneys to provide assistance in the following areas of law: Immigration, Guardianship for Children, Landlord-Tenant, Divorce, Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, Criminal Law/Expungements and Criminal Law/Victim's Rights, Bankruptcy, and Social Security. For those of you who are not bilingual, we will have interpreters available, so please do not hesitate to volunteer.
The main part of the program is in the school gymnasium where the participants will have the opportunity to speak to a lawyer one-on-one. Many of the attorney volunteers bring business cards, as attendees will often follow-up after the program for direct representation.
Please also feel free to forward this email to anyone you know who may be interested. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Lisa Chapland if you have any questions at the office at 732-215-8510 or my cell at 732-239-3356.
Thank you again for your contribution to this important event!
