LIFT creates a groundbreaking tool in the pursuit of legal justice

I am delighted to introduce Jeannine Choi, Regulatory Compliance Attorney with Bloomberg L.P. and a dedicated volunteer with LIFT’s Family Legal Connection (FLC) program. FLC is a groundbreaking videoconferencing and document-sharing platform that enables Family Court litigants without legal representation to meet remotely with a pro bono attorney.

FLC technology significantly expands LIFT’s reach. For litigants who live in remote areas, are disabled or homebound, can’t take time off from work to meet with an attorney, or have transportation or childcare issues, FLC offers a legal lifeline as they navigate the complex and emotionally charged Family Court process.

Long before COVID-19 was on anyone’s radar, LIFT envisioned and created FLC as a critical tool in the pursuit of legal justice. Once the pandemic struck, FLC pro bono attorneys, specially trained by LIFT, were already in place to seamlessly support our clients.

Please take a moment to watch this moving video in which Jeannine describes the power of FLC and why working with LIFT clients is so meaningful to her. If you are an attorney and would like to participate with FLC, we need and welcome you. Please contact Sami Ingram at singram@liftonline.org.

Thank you for your support.
