In addition to legal representation and other services for income-eligible neighborhood residents, HCC offers a free legal clinic on Monday evenings.
Any New York City resident can visit HCC’s legal clinic, regardless of income. Our volunteer lawyers provide brief legal information, explain basic legal rights and may refer visitors to other legal resources/organizations/agencies.
The Clinic is for 15-minute consultations only. You do not retain the volunteer attorney and the attorney does not represent you. While most visitors come for legal information about housing-related matters, attorneys may field questions about other basic, legal matters, as well. Visitors are asked to bring all documents relevant to their questions.
The Clinic starts at 7:00pm and ends no later than 9:00pm. To keep the Clinic manageable and within that time period, signup is limited to eight (8) visitors on a first come, first served basis. The HCC waiting room is available for clinic visitors starting at 6:30pm, NO EARLIER. Visitors are allowed no more than three (3) consecutive Monday visits. HCC reserves the right to decline services to any individual.
The Clinic is closed on federal holidays. HCC is not hosting a legal clinic on Sept. 6, 2010. If you have questions, please contact Rachel D. Jaffe.
