Volunteer attorneys from the MBA participated in the MBA's
semiannual Western Massachusetts Dial-A-Lawyer call-in program on
May 19, hosted at Western New England University School of Law.
Residents of Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties
had the opportunity to have their legal questions answered by local
attorneys who volunteered their time. The legal advice was provided
at no charge as a public service of the MBA.
The calls featured legal questions on a wide-range of topic
areas, including employment law, consumer law, tax law, real estate
law, elder law and family law.
Launched in 1994, the MBA's Western Massachusetts Dial-A-Lawyer
program is in its 21st year. The program is co-sponsored by Western
New England University School of Law, The Republican,
El Pueblo Latino, the Massachusetts Association of
Hispanic Attorneys and the Hispanic National Bar Association.
