Clients should sign up in advance if possible by contacting the shelter representative listed for each shelter. Clients who are unable to sign up in advance may still attend a clinic. Each clinic starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 12:00 p.m. We try to assist with most legal issues but do not take any domestic relations cases (divorce, custody, child support, etc) or represent defendants in criminal trials. Please contact Maribeth Perry at 617 778-1980 if you have any questions or need further information.
