VLP trains attorneys to take on child support cases to help low-income Brooklynites
Many low-income Brooklynites dealing with child support issues will be able to get help from the Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP).
The VLP held a continuing legal education training session on the subject at the Brooklyn Bar Association on Monday that was free for attorneys if they agreed to take on a case pro bono.
The two-hour lecture was entitled, “Determination and Modification of Orders of Child Support in Family Court,” and featured attorneys Sidney Cherubin, director of legal services for the VLP, Joanne Reece, staff attorney and head of the Family Law Section of the VLP, and attorney Patrick R. Garcia.
