Free legal help will be available to Macon residents this evening.

Members of the Macon Bar Association and employees of the Georgia Legal Services Program are hosting a Community Law Clinic at the Buck Melton Community Center from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The center is located at 150 Sessions Drive.

It’s part of the National Pro Bono Celebration Week, a national effort to meet the needs of residents who otherwise could not afford to see a lawyer.

The Community Law Clinic is aimed at providing free legal information on a variety of topics to low-income families and seniors in the Middle Georgia area. Lawyers will volunteer their time to provide presentations and answer questions in a variety of areas, including consumer law, criminal law, education law, family law and personal injury law.
