This series is a partnership between Akron-Summit County Public Library, Community Legal Aid, and the Akron Bar Association.
Attend informational presentations on collections and bankruptcy. After, one-on-one, fifteen-minute advise and council sessions with a licensed attorney will be conducted on a first come, first served basis for those registered. During the one-on-one sessions, registrants will have the opportunity to ask legal questions covering a variety of subjects, including: debt, bankruptcy, credit card lawsuits, garnishments, and more!
As part of the registration process, Community Legal Aid may ask individuals for income information. As a community clinic, individuals will be given advise and council regardless of income eligibility; however, in order to receive individual Legal Aid services as a client, individuals must meet financial eligibility.
Note: Technical requirements for the Zoom sessions are a device with access to WiFi, a video camera, a microphone, and a speaker. An option to visit the Main Library is available for those without access to the technical requirements.
