Massachusetts residents can receive free legal advice on Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. by participating in the “Ask A Lawyer” call-in program, presented by the Massachusetts Bar Association, WBZ Call for Action, WBZ NewsRadio 1030 and WBZ-TV.
Volunteer lawyers from the Massachusetts Bar Association will field phone calls from residents who have legal concerns or problems, according to a press release from the association. The advice is provided for free.
The “Ask A Lawyer” phone number is 617-787-7070. If a caller gets a busy signal, they are asked to hang up and try again. Normal telephone charges will apply.
“If you cannot afford a lawyer, or if you don’t know where to turn for help, the Ask A Lawyer program makes it easier for people to get answers to their legal questions,” Massachusetts Bar Association President John Morrissey said. “The Massachusetts Bar Association and our partners at WBZ NewsRadio, WBZ-TV and WBZ Call for Action are proud to support this important community resource.”
While volunteer lawyers field calls, Morrissey will appear as a guest on WBZ NewsRadio’s NightSide with Dan Rea, where he will discuss the ways in which the Massachusetts Bar Association works to serve lawyers and all Massachusetts residents through programs, such as its monthly Dial-A-Lawyer program, Lawyer Referral Service (masslawhelp.com) and other public initiatives.
