Lawyer
of the Day Program
The
Barnstable County Probate and Family Court Lawyer of the Day Program is
coordinated by the Barnstable County Bar Association. There is a lawyer
of the day scheduled at the Barnstable Probate and Family Court every
day from approximately 9:00am until approximately 1:00pm. However, the
Lawyers in the program volunteer their time to provide legal
assistance
to the customers of the Barnstable Probate Court. Occasionally, there
may not be a Lawyer of the Day present due to a circumstance in the
particular lawyer’s schedule. Under those circumstances, it may be
necessary for the court customer to come back on another day for
assistance.
The Lawyer of the Day Program is on a first come, first
served basis with a sheet to sign in for the service. The Lawyers will
provide legal advice and general guidance on matters in the Probate and
Family Court for cases in this county. The Lawyers do not
assist parties in the court room. If you need assistance, you should
come in on a day before your case is scheduled. If your
case is scheduled, the Court will not wait for parties to see the lawyer
of the day. If a person already has an attorney, the Lawyer of the Day
will not assist that person.
There are
income eligibility requirements for the program. For more information
on the Lawyer of the Day Program at the Barns table Probate and Family
Court, please contact the Barnstable County Bar Association directly at
(508) 362-2121.
