Mobile Law Clinic to make a stop at Lincoln Center for Leon County's Promise Zone

The Legal Aid Foundation's Mobile Law Clinic is headed to Tallahassee's Lincoln Center, 438 W. Brevard St., on Wednesday, July 24, 5:30-7 p.m., to offer free legal counsel to Leon County's Promise Zone and low-income residents.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development describes Promise Zones as high poverty areas, where local governments partner with the federal government. In Tallahassee, this area includes South City and Frenchtown.

Residents who qualify must sign up by 6:30 p.m. on the day of the event and will have the opportunity to meet with a volunteer attorney for a 20-minute legal consultation on the following matters:

• Adoption
• Child support
• Custody/visitation
• Divorce
• Landlord/tenant issues
• Paternity
• Property
• Probate
• Wills

The event is being made possible by the Promise Zone Grant, established over 50 years ago by the Tallahassee Bar Association, which authorizes the Legal Aid Foundation to offer these free services.
