Hundreds of volunteer lawyers across Oklahoma will provide free legal advice on Friday, May 1, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the annual statewide Law Day celebration. Oklahoma residents may call 405900-5299 or 918-340-5297 to speak to a licensed attorney at no cost. Questions also can be submitted through email by visiting www.askalawyerok.org.

“This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Ask a Lawyer event,” said OBA President Amber Peckio of Tulsa. “The Oklahoma Bar Association annually celebrates Law Day by providing free legal advice to the public through this annual community service project. Volunteer lawyers look forward to this opportunity to give back to our communities, and we invite all Oklahomans to reach out with their questions when this Law Day tradition returns on May 1.”

The Ask A Lawyer hotline is one of several events in which Oklahoma lawyers participate to observe Law Day. Free resources and informational videos covering common legal questions are also available online.
