Cooperating Attorney Program
CWEALF’s role within the community
would not be possible without the dedication and efforts of
our Cooperating Attorneys. Attorneys can volunteer
their services in numerous critical ways by providing their
expertise, writing amicus briefs, updating our legal booklets
and brochures, and participating on our Board of Director’s
Legal Committee.
Additionally, as part of our Legal Education
Program, CWEALF operates an Information
& Referral (I&R) Service to provide legal information
and referrals on issues related to family, education and employment
law. Our Cooperating Attorneys are the heart of this unique
service; last year alone, over two thousand individuals contacted
CWEALF for legal information, problem-solving, and legal advocacy.
This year, we have expanded our program to not only answer
questions via the I&R phone line, but also through our
web site.
We value your time and effort and will
work together with you to ensure the experience is a positive
one for everyone involved. This means identifying your interests
according to practice specialties and geographic locations,
the number of cases you would like referred to you, etc. What
makes our program so special is that we do not turn anyone
away based on outside factors, including socioeconomic status.
Therefore, we ask our Cooperating Attorneys to help us accommodate
the majority of the people who come to us for help by providing
an initial free consultation to the clients we refer, and/or
payment plans, and/or a sliding scale fee basis.
Please feel free to contact Amy Miller
at 860.247.6090 or amiller@cwealf.org
if you have any questions, or simply download the attorney
data sheet and return it to us via fax at: 860.524.0804.
Please join CWEALF in advancing
the rights of Connecticut women and families.
