Monday Night Law is a community service program providing free consultations with volunteer lawyers. The consultation is a chance for you to discuss questions you may have about a legal issue or process, and an opportunity to have a lawyer help you figure out what to do next.

Volunteer lawyers can only help you with advice related to the following legal topics:

  • Employer and Employee Law
  • Divorce, Matrimonial and Family Law
  • Bankruptcy
  • Consumer Law
  • Landlord-Tenant
  • Small Business Matters

Call 212-626-7373 (Español 212-626-7374) to discuss your legal issue with an Attorney Referral Counselor at the New York City Bar Legal Referral Service.

NYPIRG (The New York Public Interest Research Group) is a not for profit organization that offers a hotline staffed by trained students who can answer some questions about Small Claims Court and can offer information about procedures.
