MESSAGE FROM VERMONT LEGAL AID:
Vermont Legal Aid is holding monthly legal advice clinics for Bennington county residents. The clinics take place on the third Wednesday of every month. Clinics are held remotely and participants have the option of meeting with an advocate by phone or through Microsoft Teams for up to a 45-minute appointment. This recurring clinic covers a wide range of civil legal issues, including housing, education, public benefits, taxes and family law matters. To be eligible for a clinic appointment, participants must have a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), with limited exceptions.
Our next Bennington Legal Advice Clinic is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17th from 10:00am-3:00pm.
The Bennington Legal Advice Clinic accepts appointment requests on the first day of each month up to and including the date of that month’s clinic. Space is limited. Appointments will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants who are unable to secure a clinic appointment will be added to a waitlist and/or asked to call back on or after the first of the month for the next scheduled clinic.
Bennington residents interested in scheduling a clinic appointment should call our Bennington Legal Advice Clinic hotline at: 802-318-4169. Community partners are welcome to send clinic appointment referrals to: benningtonclinic@vtlegalaid.org.
Emergency cases and/or other legal issues that need immediate attention are not appropriate referrals for clinic appointments. Individuals should contact our intake line for assistance: 1-800-889-2047.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Philo (she/her)
