Free legal advice is on the docket for Anoka County residents this Law Day, coming up fast on Friday, May 3. Seeking to aid in the navigation through life's myriad legal entanglements, the county has planned an all-day event from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., offering complimentary consultations for those grappling with expungement, family law, and housing law issues. Anyone seeking to seal their court records can skip an appointment entirely and work to expunge their past in person, an opportunity not lost on those looking to turn over a new leaf.
These consultations aim to provide a lifeline to folks often swamped under the weight of legal complexities. The expungement clinic will throw open its doors at the Anoka County Government Center, while those requiring guidance in family law matters can call ahead to secure a 45-minute session. Housing law guidance, too, will be available at the Government Center. Officials advise to come prepared with any relevant paperwork, poised to take an active role in advocating for oneself.
Descriptions of the event venues are detailed for interested parties. Those looking to clear their criminal record can visit rooms 710 and 715 at the Anoka County Government Center, where no prior appointment is needed. Those with family law inquiries need to arrange their consultation by calling the court administration. Individual appointments will be at the Family Law Clinic located in the Law Library E130 of the Anoka County Courthouse. There's also help for housing law issues in room C246 of the Government Center, where courtroom 240 will serve as the check-in point. Note that walk-ins are welcome at the housing clinic as well. All these services are concentrated on not only resolving legal issues but ultimately promoting access to justice.
