We are always in need of family law, civil, probate and criminal law attorneys. We are currently holding the clinics virtually (by phone), so you are able to receive a list of residents who need assistance the morning of the clinic (in time for you to make conflicts checks), and then call them back between 3 and 5 p.m. on the date of the clinics.
If you (or anyone in your firm) is willing to assist, please let us know what dates you can help.

Do you have a new attorney in your office? WE NEED YOU PLEASE!
If so, please consider adding him/ her to the pro bono and reduced-fee referral list for Weld County Legal Services.
WCLS provides reduced-fee and pro bono assistance to many members of the community annually. However, we could not do so without the support of local law firms. We truly appreciate all the assistance we receive. This is a great way for newer attorneys to help the community, familiarize themselves with our community, and gain some confidence. Those attending our free legal clinics are so grateful for the help they receive. We truly could not do this without you. If you can spare a few hours a month, please email vtaylor.wcls@gmail.com or call (970) 310-8367, to be added to our emailing list for free legal clinics as well as for our referral list for reduced-fee and pro bono attorneys.
