Fort Bend Lawyers Care
Part of what we do at East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry is to provide the families and individuals we serve with information about other charitable organizations in the community that offer helpful services to those in need. Fort Bend Lawyers Care (FBLC) is one of those organizations. FBLC is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing equal access to justice through volunteer lawyers, and promoting volunteerism in the local legal community. Since 2006 FBLC volunteer lawyers have assisted low-income Fort Bend County residents with a variety of civil legal issues, including wills preparation, divorce/custody, guardianship, adoption, probate, kincare, and bankruptcy and credit issues. And we have a Spanish speaker on staff; se habla espanol!
All pro bono clients must meet income and asset qualifications to be eligible for legal assistance. To apply for pro bono services, simply call 281-239-0015. Once a month volunteer lawyers answer calls from Fort Bend County residents; please see the attached flier for more info. ALL CALLERS get to speak to a licensed, experienced attorney, regardless of income. Absolutely no one is turned away.
