CALISI`s mission is to address injustice through creative and persistent civil law advocacy on behalf of vulnerable and underserved Delawers. 15 minutes of free legal assistance. Volunteer lawyers meet with appropriate self-represented litigants for a single fifteen-minute meeting. The lawyer will not meet with the self-represented litigant outside the program. The lawyer will also not represent the litigant in court. Keep in mind that court officials cannot give you legal advice. If you have a question about your options or what you should do, you should talk to a lawyer. Just because you`re talking to a lawyer doesn`t necessarily mean you have to hire that lawyer to represent you. Ask the lawyer if they are willing to meet with you for a consultation to answer your questions without having to hire that lawyer for full representation. Also, before meeting with the lawyer, ask what fees will be charged for the consultation.
