Volunteer Lawyers Needed for Union City Law Day
The NJSBA will be a part of the fourth Union City Law Day on Wednesday, June 14 in the evening at Union City High School. The event is held in conjunction with Senator and Union City Mayor Brian Stack, the Hispanic Bar Association of New Jersey, the Hudson County Bar Association and the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.
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. For those 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 volunteer by emailing [email protected]
