Enid News and Eagle

ENID — Judy Clay, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma senior citizen’s paralegal, will be in Enid Thursday to meet with Garfield County seniors who need information on a legal matter or have questions.

She will be at Northern Oklahoma Development Authority, 2901 N. Van Buren, 10 a.m. to noon and 1-3 p.m. The session is free. No appointment is necessary.

“Many seniors and those with hearing impairments prefer to discuss their problems in person, and meeting at NODA makes it easier to review legal documents,” Clay said.

Legal Aid serves 77 counties, accepting cases in the areas of domestic abuse, housing and consumer law and government benefits.
