A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I'm looking for free legal help and wanted to know if I qualify.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Counsel and Advocacy Law Line (CALL) program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Income-based eligibility; seniors 60+ priority, SE Michigan counties served?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call 888-783-8190 for CALL line or intake screening.
Thank you so much for your help.
