Pro Bono

Pro Bono Services

Our current Pro Bono program is made up of three components: The Pro Se Divorce Program, our panel of Pro Bono attorneys, and the Albany Family Court Help Desk. All three aspects of our Pro Bono program work together to provide comprehensive free legal services to the low-income sector of our community. With almost 15% of civil legal needs being unmet, the Albany County Bar Association is deeply committed to filling that gap.

For further information please call Siobhan Blank at 518-445-7691.
