ANC Glendale, ABA and NLS Set Dates for Future Legal Clinics
July 17, 2010

Glendale, CA - The Armenian National Committee of Glendale in partnership with the Armenian Bar Association and Neighborhood Legal Services of LA County will continue to offer free legal clinics, conducted in both English and Armenian, for Glendale residents the third Wednesday of every other month. The two upcoming clinics will take place on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 and Wednesday, October 20, 2010 from 6:00pm to 8:00 p.m. at K&M Karamanoukian, Glendale Youth Center, 211 W. Chestnut St., Glendale, CA 91204.

"We are very excited to continue our partnership with ABA and NLS to host free legal clinics for the Glendale community," stated Sarkis Ourfalian, Co-Chair of ANC Glendale. "We encourage the public to call in advance to schedule an appointment given the overwhelming response and attendance at our initial clinic on June 2nd,” added Ourfalian.

Volunteer attorneys from the Armenian Bar Association and Neighborhood Legal Services will provide free legal advice and guidance on questions dealing with landlord-tenant relations, civil matters/small claims, immigration, criminal law, and family law (domestic violence, divorce, custody issues). Clinics are limited to advice and consultation only. Attendees who wish to hire an attorney will be referred to the Glendale Bar Association or NLS for continued assistance. Volunteer attorneys will not represent clients in court and will not be available for hire.

Attendees are encouraged to bring to the clinic documentation pertaining to their legal issues such as agreements or contracts (signed or proposed), written rules or policies, court orders, court papers served or that were filed with the court, all letters or emails to and from the person or business with whom the attendee has a disagreement, specific paperwork related to the case (rental agreement, lease, child support order, employee handbook, etc.).

Although walk-ins are welcome, community members interested in attending the clinic can schedule an appointment by emailing info@ancglendale.org or calling 818.243.3444. Attendees will be served on a first come, first served basis.

The Armenian National Committee-Glendale Chapter advocates for the social, economic, cultural, and political rights of the city's Armenian American community and promotes increased civic participation at the grassroots and public policy levels.
