The Kansas Bar Association and the Topeka Bar Association will be hosting its “Call-a-Lawyer Night” on Thursday, Jan. 14. Anyone in need of legal advice is encouraged to call (800) 928-3111 between 6 and 8 p.m. Callers may speak to volunteer lawyers who are donating their time to answer questions and providing legal advice and information.

The volunteers are members of the KBA and/or the TBA and are able to provide information on many legal issues.

Those issues include probate, family law (such as child custody, divorce, and adoption), landlord-tenant issues and other matters involving real property and employment (such as wrongful termination, workplace conflicts and employment rights).

The KBA Lawyer Referral Service will not charge a fee for making a referral to one of its pre-screened, insured, experienced lawyers. Its lawyers do not offer pro bono — or free — legal services. Each lawyer will determine the fees charged for legal services, and any caller referred should discuss such rates prior to entering into a representation agreement.

“Call-a-Lawyer” repeats the second Thursday of each month and is designed to help persons in need of legal advice and information or answer questions.
