DEBT COLLECTION
Pro Bono Opportunities for Tennessee Lawyers
ABOUT
Debt collection cases are litigation matters where you can represent lower-income clients in eminently winnable cases. Unfortunately, in many cases, plaintiffs, either direct creditors or 3rd party debt buyers, bring cases on mass, often without possessing the evidence they need to win the case. Lawyers can help untangle this and help dismiss changes where evidence is inadequate or negotiate cases where debt is owed.
This kind of pro bono matter will often give you experience negotiating with opposing counsel and have a high chance of giving you some courtroom experience.
