Prelaunch Not accepting cases or donations
A proposed nonprofit clinic for people who can’t afford a lawyer. Technology could organize the paperwork. A licensed attorney would review it with the person seeking help.
A letter about housing or debt can be hard to read alone. The proposed clinic would bring community organizations and volunteer attorneys together to offer pro bono help with everyday legal problems. Its ambition is nationwide. Services could begin only where attorneys are appropriately licensed and supervision is in place.
The proposed model
A rent notice lists an unpaid balance. The tenant says they have a receipt. Follow that question through three possible handoffs.
“I have a receipt. Why does this say I owe rent?”
Step 1 / Community
A community nonprofit could listen to the tenant’s concern and ask whether they want a lawyer to review the notice. It would seek permission before sharing anything with the clinic.
A note for counsel
Step 2 / Preparation
A volunteer could use document tools to prepare a summary. The notice and the tenant’s account would stay separate. Whether the receipt relates to the balance would remain an open question for counsel.
Review the matter
Step 3 / Attorney review
An attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction would check conflicts, review the original notice and ask about the receipt. If the clinic could help, the attorney would explain the scope to the tenant and supervise the work.
Participate
The proposal welcomes people from different professions, including firms that compete with Agentic Attorney.
Help set the clinic’s priorities, oversee its resources and make independent decisions about outside support.
A first conversation How should a board weigh community need against the clinic’s capacity?
Help design manageable pro bono assignments and a supervision model. Future work would depend on licensure, experience and availability.
A first conversation What scope of work could you responsibly take on?
Tell the organizers where people struggle to find legal help and how language, transportation or trust affects access. Help design a referral path before referrals begin.
A first conversation Where do people get stuck when they ask for help?
Law and technology firms could contribute volunteer time, training or expertise. Participation would be open to competitors and would not require using a particular platform.
A first conversation What could your team contribute while leaving legal decisions to the supervising attorney?
A verified contact for these roles will appear here before outreach begins. Please don’t send case details or documents.
Readiness
The clinic is in planning. Incorporation, tax-exempt status and partnerships are not claimed.
Related initiatives
Agentic Attorney could provide technology and operational support, such as document tools or volunteer scheduling. Any role would need agreed terms and independent clinic oversight. No executed support agreement is represented here.
The proposed clinic is separate from AgenticAttorney.com, the commercial platform, and GoSueThem.org, the legal-cause funding initiative.
