This month CLP will be starting our first ever Probate Clinic. This legal advice clinic will be focusing on advising indigent clients with modest estates in need of probate assistance. The local firm of Fisher & Sauls, P.A., whose attorneys always actively and consistently participated in pro bono work through Community Law Program, committed to staffing this clinic. Through their dedication, they have been working with our organization practically since its inception. This clinic will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month from 10:00 a.m. until 12 noon. As it has become very apparent of the growing need for this type of advice clinic, we are all every excited about this addition.
I would also like to recognize a few new volunteer attorneys who have offered to help with our Bankruptcy Clinics and/or our Housing Clinics. Mr. Keith Sanders, Esq., with Sanders Law, P.A., recently made a commitment to staff both of these clinics. He has also taken on two pro bono cases. His experience and dedication will be an asset to our program, and we truly appreciate his time here. Mr. Brett Cameron, Esq., with Giffin, Papp, & Associates recently started volunteering for our Bankruptcy Clinic. Mr. Cameron jumped in and quickly assisted one of our clients by filing an Emergency Motion to Stay Writ of Possession. The motion was granted and our client was allowed more time in her residence. Mr. Cameron's eagerness to help our community will benefit our organization greatly.
Welcome aboard!
