Participants looking to bolster their legal savvy will find the doors of the Longmont Senior Center open from 8:15 a.m. to allow time to connect with resources before the day kicks off at 9 a.m.
This year, attendees will not only receive invaluable knowledge but can also sit down for one-on-one consultations in the highly anticipated Ask-A-Lawyer sessions, these sessions are free, they're first-come, first-served, and they offer individuals fifteen minutes with legal professionals to discuss personal concerns.
