One half-hour of free advice and consultation with a CTA Group Legal Services attorney is provided to individual SJTA/CTA/NEA members on each separate (non-employment) legal matter.

The advice and consultation cover a full range of legal questions, including:

1. Wills and Probate
2. Domestic Matters
3. Vehicle Code Violations
4. Personal Injury
5. Bankruptcy (personal)
6. Credit Claims
7. Change of Name
8. Criminal Charges
9. Consumer Protection
10. Real Estate

Members may be referred to a Group Legal Services attorney on private legal matters by their SJTA/CTA/NEA Staff Rep. If you have several different legal problems during the year, you may consult CTA’s Group Legal Services attorney on each of the problems. You may arrange individually with the attorneys for the payment of private legal services – usually at a considerable savings.
