This past Saturday, March 16, 2013 (My Birthday!) there was  a “one-day, one stop” opportunity for individuals and families experiencing homelessness to access benefits, medical care, substance abuse resources and mental health counseling as well as a variety of social services [including legal services] which can ultimately lead to housing and self-sufficiency. I advised the homeless on cleaning up their criminal records (these are called expungements) so they could have a better chance at getting a job. I also advised a few homeless women on getting a divorce from their husbands who were either taking advantage of them physically or financially. Overall it was a great experience and success. Our group of attorneys advised 90 people. The legal services portion of the day was organized by Anne Arundel County Pro Bono Rock Star Joan Bellistri. Thank you Joanie!
