If your name has a particular pronunciation you'd like me to know, please share it here; I want to get it right

I want to make sure I address you the way you'd like from day one.

Morning, afternoon, evenings - whatever works best for your schedule.

This helps me understand how we might work together. Lewis Legacy Law Studio primarily serves clients within the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island). However, if you're located outside of the five boroughs, please don't close this form. Some matters require New York licensure, in-person court filings, and local knowledge; others, like contract review, can be handled regardless of where you're located. If I'm not the right fit, I'll do my best to connect you with a trusted referral in your area; you won't leave our conversation without a next step.

Are you an older youth looking for free, limited legal guidance?
This question is for young people who may be dealing with big life changes without a lot of steady support.

You may be in the right place if you are an older youth, including a youth in shelter or transitional living, an independent minor, a young person aging out of care, or someone getting ready to turn 18 and trying to understand what legal paperwork or public benefits may matter for you.

This may include help understanding:
  • public benefits forms, like SNAP/EBT, Medicaid, Cash Assistance, or similar programs;
  • legal paperwork connected to turning 18, like health care proxy, HIPAA authorization, FERPA guidance, or power of attorney questions;
  • basic civil legal questions;
  • letters, forms, or notices you do not understand;
  • what questions to ask before signing or submitting something;
  • whether another legal services provider or community resource may be a better fit.

You do not need to know legal words to ask for help. You do not need to have everything figured out. This screening is here to help us understand what is going on and whether this is something we may be able to help with.
  • Yes, I’m seeking help for myself
  • Yes, I’m helping an older youth seek support
  • I’m not sure
  • No, I’m seeking regular Lewis Legacy Law Studio services

If you answered “Yes” or “I’m not sure,” please pause here.

You may be eligible for a separate youth legal guidance screening connected to Nisey’s Nurture Network. That screening form is shorter, easier to follow, and made specifically for older youth seeking free, limited-scope legal guidance.

Free legal guidance is limited and capacity-based. It is provided separately through Lewis Legacy Law Studio only after eligibility review, conflict check, and a written limited-scope agreement. Completing this form or the screening form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Plain language is perfect. You don’t need legal terms, just tell me what’s happening and what you’re hoping to figure out.

This helps me prioritize scheduling. If something is time-sensitive, please note that below

- Personal referral: a friend, family member, or colleague?
- Professional referral: another attorney, organization, or service provider?
- Church or community organization?
- Social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.)?
- Web search?
- Workshop or community event?

Everyone works differently, and I want our process to fit you - not the other way around. If we move forward after our discovery call, I’ll send you a more detailed intake form specific to your legal matter. The question below helps me understand how to best support you with that.
There’s no right answer here. Both options are fully supported; this just helps me plan our time together.

Lewis Legacy Law Studio reserves a limited number of adjusted-fee engagements each month for clients who are income-eligible and cannot meet standard rates.
This program is distinct from pro bono services and is available on a first-come, first-served basis

A concern, a question, something you want to make sure we cover - this is the place to tell me.

You're all done! Thank you for taking the time to complete this form. I'll review it and be in touch soon. If you have questions before we connect, you can reach me directly at hello@lewislegacylaw.com.
