Free Legal Resource Day happening next week in Pueblo

Posted

PUEBLO — There's a free event in Pueblo next week for anyone who wants to know more about the legal system or get some advice.

The Dennis Maes Judicial Building, which is located downtown on Elizabeth Street near West 5th Street, will be hosting its annual Legal Resource Day next Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Visitors can take classes on legal proceedings and get free one-on-one advice from attorneys.

"A lot of people are facing problems, legal problems in the community and there is no other event like this to be able to talk to an attorney for free, especially in Pueblo," said Michala Barnett with Pueblo Combined Courts. "We're limited on resources a lot of the times."

It is recommended that you make an appointment for the one-on-one attorney sessions. You can do so by either going to the judicial building, or by calling them at (719)404-8700.
