Saturday October 25 Theresa Lassiter and her organization
Success Unlimited Women and Youth Business Center presented the eleventh annual
Lawfest Workshop.
The Lawfest Workshop, conceived by Ms. Lassiter, is an event
designed specifically to get people who need legal services or advice directly
in touch with local attorneys.
The event was packed when I got there about noon and there
were numerous rooms at the Midtown St. Petersburg College Campus full of
attorneys and people with real questions.
There were a lot of helpful people on hand to make sure
visitors found the right attorney for their questions.
While I was there, former Mayor Bill Foster was answering
questions about estate planning and current City Council member Charlie Gerdes
was offering some legal advice.
I have been to a number of these events and it is always a
moving experience to see attorneys from the community helping people who might not
otherwise seek out legal advice.
All the services are free.
The Lawfest Workshop is a very personal one on one event and
is best told in pictures.
