FLAC CANNOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE, GIVE AN OPINION ABOUT YOUR CASE OR RECOMMEND A SPECIFIC LAWYER.

Communication with the volunteers is not confidential and the information is not legal advice. This service is not a substitute for representation by an attorney.

The Family Law Assistance Center was created by the Dane County Bar's Delivery of Legal Services Committee to help meet the needs of unrepresented family law litigants.Over 2,400 people have used its services since it opened in 2002 and approximately 700 people were served last year (2004). Over 100 Dane County lawyers and paralegals have volunteered their time to make this project a success.
