We would like to convey our sincere thanks to all of today’s Counsel on Call volunteer attorneys namely, James Hollier, Phillip Smith, Karly Kyzar Dorr, and Marie Claire Vaccarella from NeunerPate Law Firm, as well as attorney Ryan Goudelocke who have been generous enough to give their time and knowledge to those individuals this morning seeking guidance with their civil legal issues.

We are appreciative of their efforts and the positive impact they have made through their service. As a token of our appreciation, the Lafayette Bar Foundation treated our volunteers to white chocolate macadamia nut cookies to celebrate national macadamia nut day.

Today, we’re giving a big thank you to our incredible Counsel on Call volunteers, Brandon Bradley and Ryan Goudelocke!

We’re grateful for attorneys like Brandon and Ryan who make access to legal information a little easier for those who need it. Thank you both for showing up for our community!

The Counsel on Call program is a free 15-minute consultation where individuals can meet semi-privately with a volunteer attorney to discuss civil legal issues. While the volunteer attorney will not represent you with your legal issues, many participants find that they gain greater clarity, direction, and confidence regarding their legal concerns. This program is typically held every Friday from 9:00 to 10:00 am at our office, and it is advisable to call in advance to confirm availability and specific dates. The initiative is supported by grants from the Louisiana Bar Foundation.
