The Volunteer Attorney Program of New Mexico Legal Aid is set to host a free legal fair on March 30, 2024, in Santa Fe. This event will take place at the Hotel Glorieta from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and aims to provide essential legal assistance to individuals who meet specific income and asset requirements.
Residents who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty level are encouraged to attend. The fair will offer legal help on a variety of topics, including family law issues such as divorce, custody, and child support. Additionally, attendees can seek assistance with landlord and tenant disputes, debtor and creditor issues, wills, contracts, and employment law, including unemployment benefits.
Legal professionals will be available to provide guidance on these matters on a first-come, first-served basis. Importantly, services will be offered in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for a wider range of attendees.
