MIRAMAR, FL – The City of Miramar’s Mayor, Wayne M. Messam, has joined forces with the Haitian Lawyers Association (HLA) to provide free legal services to the Haitian American and other immigrant minority members in the community. The HLA will use Consultants to provide services in the areas of Family Law, Divorce, Landlord-Tenant contracts, Immigration, and Citizenship.
“The Haitian American community and by extension, all minority community members, are critical to the fabric of Miramar. In support, I applaud the Haitian Lawyers Association for this partnership, that will allow residents to take advantage of legal services that they otherwise could not afford or access. This is an investment in the community, and it will give our minority groups access to the right resources to be able to live fulfilling lives,” stated Mayor Messam.
Consultancy services will begin Wednesday, July 12, 2023, and continue every other Wednesday during the hours of 3pm to 6pm. Registration is available at https://haitianlawyersassociation.org/pro-bono/. All services will be provided at the City of Miramar Multi-Service Complex located at 6700 Miramar Parkway, Miramar, Fl. 33023 and offered in Creole and English.
“Our organization is made up of consultants that are both lawyers and citizens. We believe in giving back with our time, energy, and specialized skills and knowledge to work for the people and causes that need them the most. There is much to do, and it is a privilege to be able to pitch in through pro bono work and community service,” stated the Haitian Lawyers Association.
The HLA is a non-profit membership organization whose mission is to promote excellence, professionalism, equality, and diversity in the legal profession and among its members to facilitate the administration of justice while striving to protect and promote the general welfare of the Haitian American community and other minority residents in the South Florida area.
