WisLAP reaches out to attorneys, volunteers want your calls

"WisLAP volunteers are available to receive phone calls 24 hours a day," says Jim Collis, WisLAP Committee chair. "WisLAP is a two-way street. When a volunteer receives a call, it is a reminder that we all have stress, and we all face tough times. We are all lawyers, but we are people first. The person at the other end of the phone identifies with the caller's problem and wants to help the caller as much as the caller wants the help. Don't let the stress get you down. Call." More
