Who can I call to get legal advice?
You should call an attorney to get legal advice, visit Legal Aid Resources for free or reduced cost legal aid. Most county bar associations have a “Lawyer’s Referral Service” that can help you find an attorney. In addition, the Arizona State Bar website (www.azbar.org) has links that can help you locate an attorney. Visit AzLawHelp and complete their online intake survey to see if you qualify for free or reduced legal assistance.
