FAQ

Below are answers to common questions you may have about your visit and receiving legal help at your appointment.

What kinds of cases do you help with?

We can help you with any legal question. We are the best place to start to help you know what to do next. The most common areas of legal help we provide include:

What kind of help do you offer?

We offer three levels of service: legal, social, and spiritual. Our legal help is limited engagement assistance. This means the lawyer represents you in a limited capacity. They will coach you on a specific next steps plan for your circumstance but not represent you on an ongoing basis. Our social assistance is resource coaching provided by a client advocate to ensure you have additional support as needed. Our spiritual assistance is optional and consists of prayer and the offer to connect you with a church.

Will the attorney represent me?

No. The attorney will give you legal advice and a next steps plan to guide you through your circumstance. They will also empower you with referrals to other resources as needed. The attorney will not go to court for you or represent you in your case.

Can someone be with me for the appointment?

Depends. You may have a friend with you if they are not involved in your issue. You will be told this waives an attorney-client privilege, but we often find a friend helpful for understanding and remembering the legal help provided.

Can I bring my children with me to my appointment?

Many centers provide care for children but ask that they not be present during the attorney consultation. Contact your specific center to find out what they provide.

Do you have income guidelines?

No. We exist to provide legal aid those who cannot afford the high cost of lawyers. If that is you, then please make an appointment with us.

Is there a minimum age for booking an appointment?

Yes, the minimum age is 18 unless you are asking about being emancipated (legally requesting adult status before 18)

What is the cost?

We charge a one-time $30 copay per case. You may come back to follow-up on your Next Steps plan at no additional cost. If you have a new legal issue arise there will be a new copay.

What is your refund policy?

Paying a $30 copay per case is an important way Administer Justice’s clients participate as partners in seeking justice.

All copays are nonrefundable once collected. However, if you request that your appointment be rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance, the copay will be applied to the rescheduled appointment.

Administer Justice reserves the right to refuse to schedule clients for appointments based on repeated cancellations.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

Requests to reschedule an appointment must be made at least 24 before the appointment. Call (855) 818-4554 to reschedule at the same or nearby center.

Administer Justice reserves the right to refuse to schedule clients for appointments based on repeated cancellations.

Do you offer interpreting?

Yes, several of our centers provide Spanish translation and other languages may be accommodated. Please indicate your need prior to your appointment by calling (855) 818-4554 or emailing hope@administerjustice.org.

Do you only help Christians?

No. We provide legal help to all people regardless of race, religion, sex, immigration status, sexual orientation, or any other status. We believe God loves all people and so do we. We serve because of our faith and our teams have great love and compassion for all our neighbors.

What if I have a disability?
