Free 30-minute consultations with a lawyer

DPL partners with the Deschutes County Access to Justice Committee to offer free 30-minute consultations with an attorney offering general legal information or referrals to other agencies.

Lawyer in the Library is intended for self-represented individuals. If you already have an attorney we may not be able to help you.

Lawyer in the Library does not provide ongoing legal representation nor advice about specific cases.

Lawyer in the Library has transitioned to online consultations using Zoom conferencing software. Appointments can be accessed from a computer, tablet, smartphone or landline.

Spanish interpretation is still available with advanced notice. If you're interested in learning more or registering for an online meeting, call 541-617-7057 or email lawlibrary@deschuteslibrary.org.

Schedule

Lawyer in the Library takes place on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 5-8 p.m.
