The National Legal Aid Society
The first one is by contacting your local Legal Aid Society. They are committed to offering citizens due equal representation under the law. The Legal Aid Society handles specific types of legal problems that you cannot go to jail for – i.e. civil cases. Either through their organization or the “Volunteer Lawyers Program”, they may be able to represent you in the following kinds of cases:
- Reentry Screening
- Employment Cases
- Family and Domestic Violence Cases
- Health and Benefits Cases
- Housing Cases
- Money and Tax Cases
The Legal Aid society also provides legal help booklets, legal help clinics, and “chat-with-a-lawyer” options. Visit their website to explore these options.
Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services
The second way to obtain free legal advice in Middle Tennessee is through Help4TN either by phone 1-844-Help4TN (1-844-435-7486) or online.
This is a statewide free phone line offering legal information and will assist Tennesseans in finding resources to deal with civil legal issues. Their website includes:
- links to legal information in booklets, handouts, and videos
- ways to fill out legal forms
- a blog to learn about your legal rights
- links to find help in Tennessee
This resource was created by the Tennessee Alliance for Legal Services in partnership with the Tennessee chapter of The National Association of Social Workers. By combining legal and social services resources, HELP4TN addresses two critical and often connected needs.
Local Law Firm
Lastly, we also recommend calling for legal advice in your local community. Many lawyers and attorneys will have trained paralegals able to answer questions and direct your contact for more in-depth advice. Some law firms will also offer a consultation process.
If you are in the Middle Tennessee or Cumberland region, you may contact Burnett Law for a free consultation at 931-484-7549. Burnett Law offers free online and in-person consultations for the following practice areas:
- Personal Injury
- Social Security Disability
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Interstate Accidents
- Defective Product Injuries
- Premises Liability (Slip and Fall)
- Wrongful Death Actions
- Burn Injuries
- Bicycle Injuries
It is always a good idea to review the firm’s focus areas (or areas of practice) as well as experience. Reviewing client testimonials on Google is also a great way to verify if an attorney is right for you. For example, Burnett Law showcases experience and testimonials for legal problems such as:
- An accident involving personal injury or resulting medical treatment
- A defective product resulting in an injury or medical treatment
- A family problem such as divorce or a child custody dispute
- The drafting of a will, trust, or estate plan
Consultations with your local law firm are highly recommended as they will help you understand your case, if you can win your claim and why, and also help clarify the next step. If you are located in Shelby, Putnam, Cumberland, Roane, Bledsoe, or surrounding counties, you can call the offices at Burnett Law for legal advice.
