Annual Event

Thursday, October 18, 2018 from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM

Please join us at the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant in Detroit for an evening of live music, networking, and antique cars, to support Lakeshore’s legal work helping our neighbors living in poverty. Last year’s event at the Michigan Science Center recognized the City of Detroit Law Department’s “Clean Slate” initiative and was very well attended.

Volunteer Opportunities

We have clinics where you can assist survivors of domestic violence or help people return to work by assisting with drivers’ license restoration or expungement of criminal records. Attorneys may also provide direct representation in defending personal protection orders or family law cases and many other opportunities. Lakeshore will help you find the right opportunity so that you can make a difference in clients’ lives.
