Free Legal Advice Clinic This Sunday – Limited Walk In Consultations Available

Leave a Comment

Gesher, The Jewish Federation of Cleveland & Legal Aid are excited to offer a free legal advice clinic this Sunday, March 26th at Green Road Synagogue between 9:30 and 11:00 a.m.

You will have the opportunity for a brief one-on-one meeting with an attorney from the community. If you need further legal representation, every effort will be made to give continued assistance to those who qualify. You may also be referred to The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland or another service provider.

This is the second free legal clinic offered in the Cleveland Jewish community. Similar clinics have taken place in the broader community for the last 12 years. Past participants have been relieved in finding clarity for questions, grateful to discover they don’t need to take action or simply validated of their issue.

Please bring any documents with you that you think may be helpful. There will be limited space for walk-ins.

Call 216-593-2887 to schedule an appointment.

She is survived by children: Shlomo (Suzanne) Offer, Zvi (Harvey) Ofer, Miriam (Gerry) Engelhart. Grandchildren: David (Ora), Rafi (Stacey), Adam (Odeya), Yael, Talya and Jordana. Great-grandchildren: Aviya, Natan, Noam, Naava and Gilad.
