When You Need Us
Nearly everybody needs legal advice at some point in their lives – but not everybody can afford it. In the UK and the United States in particular, legal aid systems are under pressure from the sheer volume of cases. DLA Piper supports legal clinics in Baltimore, Birmingham, California, Chicago, Washington, DC, London and Strathclyde, offering high-quality, no-cost legal advice to anyone who needs it.
These drop-in clinics cover such pressing legal needs as debt counselling, family law advice and housing information. There is no difficulty in finding volunteers to work at the clinics. For us, taking on pro bono work that makes a difference is a rewarding aspect of being a lawyer.
