Volunteers from the Massachusetts Bar Association answered
questions from more than 100 callers on August 20, during the Ask A
Lawyer program, which was presented jointly by the MBA and WBZ Call
for Action. Nine MBA members answered the phones at the WBZ studios
between 7 and 9 p.m., where they offered advice on a range of legal
issues, many involving consumer, criminal, landlord-tenant and
family law.
Ask A Lawyer was a regular program from 1978 until 2005, and the
MBA and WBZ Call for Action revived the program in 2012 to meet the
growing legal needs of the commonwealth's citizens.
During the second hour of the Ask A Lawyer program, MBA
President-elect Marsha V. Kazarosian continued what has become an
annual tradition of having an MBA officer appear as a guest on WBZ
Radio's "NightSide with Dan Rea." In addition to taking calls from
program listeners, Kazarosian talked about how the MBA benefits
both lawyers and the public. Kazarosian and Rea also stressed the
importance of being represented by a lawyer in all legal matters,
and touted the MBA's Lawyer Referral Service as a helpful resource
for those who need legal assistance.
