Legal Answers™ is a virtual legal aid clinic allowing low-income individuals to
pose civil legal questions to volunteer attorneys. In an effort to prevent
larger legal crises from developing, this website provides brief individualized
legal assistance to underserved populations. For attorneys in search of
short term volunteer opportunities, this site provides a way to do pro bono
work that fits into your schedule and provides legal malpractice insurance for
the advice provided within the state. If you would like to get involved, you
can register as an attorney volunteer at ny.freelegalanswers.org.
