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 Discrimination Complaint Support and Human Rights Guidance program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as People facing possible discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations, or city-covered civil-rights matters?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Call for current meeting schedule and complaint-contact process. 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 or email the commission for complaint guidance or discrimination-related information.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
