The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF) seeks volunteer attorneys for its Eviction Defense Phone Bank to speak with Fulton County tenants who have pending evictions.

Many of these tenants are seeking only simple advice and consultations about eviction cases - how they work, what the steps in the process are, and how best to raise their defenses or counterclaims. This opportunity is a brief advice volunteer bank to assist these tenants.

Before your shift, you will receive a list of tenant names, phone numbers, and case summaries. These tenants have been pre-screened by an AVLF volunteer attorney and identified as needing brief advice. Questions? Contact Crystal Redd (credd@avlf.org) or Susan Leonard (sleonard@avlf.org).

*Note that this opportunity is available only to GA-barred attorneys. Law students and paralegals looking to volunteer with AVLF can find additional volunteer opportunities at avlf.org/volunteer.
