Low-income area residents will have a chance for free legal advice today.

River Valley Legal Aid will be offering a walk-in legal clinic on Tuesday in Bartholomew County. If you take part you will have a brief consultation with a volunteer attorney to answer general questions, to offer legal information or to receive other advice.

The session will focus on general legal advice on civil matters such as family law, guardianship powers of attorney, protective orders, simple wills and small estates.

The walk-in clinic will be from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Bartholomew County Public Library on Fifth Street.

River Valley Legal Aid offers the clinics for low-income residents of its eight-county district to receive legal advice and assistance. Residents of all area counties are invited to attend.
