BENNU Legal Services, Immigrant Legal Aid: Agency Receives Grant to Build Community Outreach

BENNU Legal Services, Immigrant Legal Aid: Agency Receives Grant to Build Community Outreach

Lake Bluff, IL (Vocus) October 12, 2010

BENNU Legal Services, a nonprofit located midway between Chicago and Milwaukee, has received a grant from The Lake County Community Foundation, an affiliate of The Chicago Community Trust. This grant will be used to raise awareness and visibility of BENNU in the community, as well as to continue to build skill sets for volunteers and key staff and to maximize BENNU’s impact. With this grant, BENNU will improve its capacity to serve the underprivileged and underrepresented in Lake County.

Says BENNU’s Executive Director, Andrew Sagartz, “BENNU’s work is even more critical given the recent Census report that America’s poverty rate is so high, with families in poverty among large immigrant groups at a shocking 25%, nearly double the national average.” For instance, through BENNU’s outreach in the community an abused mother of six paralyzed in fear by her green-card holding husband—who threatened to have his wife deported if she reported his vicious beatings—recently learned about BENNU and her ability to get free, and to legally build a new life for herself and her children with a work permit, valid social security number, and a driver’s license.

Says Sylvia Zaldivar-Sykes, Executive Director of The Lake County Community Foundation, “Our support of BENNU is another way the Foundation is working to make Lake County a better, more vibrant place to live, work, and raise a family.” The Foundation was established to improve the lives of the most vulnerable residents of Lake County, a mission that closely parallels BENNU’s mission.

BENNU provides low-cost legal aid and education to help families and individuals new to the United States to legalize and integrate. Through its work, BENNU also supports small business entrepreneurs and helps address important issues such as domestic violence. In addition to its formal services, BENNU has also implemented educational programs–such as community education seminars and confidential legal consultations—to increase clients’ occupational skills, promote dialogue and understanding, and improve the health of the greater community. Like the bennu bird, or Egyptian phoenix, rising from the ashes, BENNU’s clients rise to new heights to achieve their American Dreams.

About BENNU Legal Services

To meet clients’ needs, BENNU Legal Services, an innovative nonprofit Supporting American Dreams, offers services on a sliding-fee-scale, and sometimes pro-bono, basis. Through collaborations with many other agencies and faith-based organizations, our multicultural staff meets clients at locations convenient to them. BENNU also conducts vocational trainings to increase employability, helping individuals successfully rise to new beginnings. To learn more, visit http://www.BENNUlegal.org.

Hiring Personal Attorneys Vs. Court Appointed Lawyers And Legal Aid

A number of people who require legal help cannot afford the fees that are associated with hiring a lawyer. An individual in this situation may turn to the services of a legal aid clinic or a court appointed attorney. Many people who make this choice end up disappointed and discouraged because of the lack of effort put forth by these affordable legal services.

Although Legal aid clinics has helped many people through some terrible circumstances they , on the other hand, have numerous disadvantages when it comes to dealing with masses of people looking for legal help. A legal aid clinic is a program that allows law school students to receive hands on training. The program allows students to gain experience and offer legal advice and a number of different services to clients. These students don’t receive compensation for any legal help they provide. In many jurisdictions, inexperienced students are allowed to argue for their clients in court. This type of free legal help isn’t equivalent to the type of help that can be provided by a private attorney. Many legal aid clinics are not provided the proper funding to deal with the high number of cases that they receive. People seeking legal advice from attorneys at these clinics may have to wait for hours or even weeks for assistance. They are then forced to routinely turn away large numbers of applicants for legal services due to under funding and limited staffing. Additionally, legal aid clinics can only take certain types of cases. Majority of legal aid offices do not accept cases involving criminal, divorce, visitation rights, child support, child custody, bankruptcy, and emergencies.

In many cases, an individual who can’t afford a lawyer may be appointed one by the court. Private practice lawyers are assigned to represent defendants and are paid by the court. The amount a lawyer receives may be significantly less than what he or she would bill an actual client. Many times, these attorneys do not work as hard as they would if they were privately hired.. …Clients may not receive the extra care and attention that they need. Court appointed attorneys are also chosen at random, so an individual may get one who has no experience or is not familiar with the related legal issue. In some instances if you are charged with a civil offense, such as bankruptcy or injury to another person, you will not be eligible for a court appointed attorney. What could be another disadvantage of a court appointed attorney? Court appointed attorney’s is not necessarily a free service. If a defendant is found to be guilty and is put on probation, the probation terms may require that he or she reimburses the county for the attorney fees. Many times, this amount is less than what it would cost to hire the lawyer outright.

A number of people have had terrible experiences with these supposedly affordable legal services. Many individuals have been forced to plea bargain by their attorneys in order to rush through the system. Others have been misrepresented due to the lack of knowledge and experience of the lawyer. Many people have been disappointed with the court appointed system and may not qualify to receive legal help from clinics.
