Attorney Volunteers are essential to helping Legal Services of North Florida in our mission to provide case representation and advice to low-income persons in civil matters without charging a fee.
Helpline (Tallahassee only):
Attorneys in Leon County and surrounding areas can visit the LSNF Tallahassee Location. Use our equipment in our office to access our case database and makes calls out to clients for advice on pro se civil matters.
When: Flexible scheduling weekly Monday-Thursday between 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Where: Volunteer Office at Legal Services of North Florida, 2119 Delta Blvd, Tallahassee, FL 32303
Helpline from Home:
Volunteers for this opportunity use our Legal Sever database remotely with restricted access to view LSNF advice-only cases, then advise clients on a secure phone line of their choice regarding pro se civil matters and disputes.
When: At the volunteer’s discretion
Where: During volunteer time, attorneys should be in an environment conducive to maintaining client confidentiality in addition to using a secure internet connection and phone line to review cases and make calls.
If you would like to volunteer at one of our clinics across our service area, please take a look at our Events Calendar to view all of our legal clinics and outreaches to find one in your area.
Legal Advocacy Manual Research and Editing Team (LSNF): LSNF maintains a Legal Advocacy Manual which volunteer attorneys use to assist clients with legal issues. The manual details Florida law and necessary forms related to legal issues including family law, landlord/tenant law, final directives, probate, guardianship, and more.
When: Ongoing
Where: Remote access via Microsoft OneDrive
Time Commitment: We ask that attorneys commit to the completion of one full section at a time. Sections have been updated in part with the help of FSU Law students.
LSNF provides representation to low-income and vulnerable individuals in civil matters only.
