DOTHAN, AL, April 25, 2016 – Cherry & Irwin announces they will be hosting their first free walk-in legal clinic from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, April 30 at the Doug Tew Community Center located at 300 Garland St. in Dothan. Cherry & Irwin will have attorneys and staff present to serve those in attendance by preparing Basic Wills, Living Wills, and Power of Attorney.

 

It may be the last thing anyone wants to think about, but having these important documents when you pass away, ensures your loved ones are taken care of, your wishes are carried out, and prevents your family from having to sort out your estate in court.  No one wants to leave their families with a legal burden during their time of grief.

 

Founding Partner, Samuel A. Cherry, Jr. stated, “Our firm is truly excited to be offering this tremendous service to our Wiregrass community.  We want to provide access to the legal guidance that is necessary to have a well-planned estate to members of our community—people that may not normally have access to this help due to lack of time or concerns with cost.” He continued, “If the event has a strong turnout and people find the service to be helpful, we would like to make this clinic a tradition.”

 

Attendees will meet with a lawyer on a first come first served basis. Cherry & Irwin asks that attendees bring valid photo identification and any existing Wills, Power of Attorney, and/or Deeds that they may have. If you have any questions regarding the legal clinic, please give Cherry & Irwin a call 334-793-1000.
