If You Do Not Have A Lawyer or A Paid, Professional, Registered Representative:

OATH will provide you with the opportunity to speak with an OATH Procedural Justice Coordinator who can provide you with legal information and resources to help you prepare for your case. These individuals can provide you with information about the hearing process, the options available to you, and answer questions that you may have. These individuals *cannot* provide you with legal advice. All appointments must be conducted prior to the day of your hearing. Free foreign language services are available upon request.

In order to schedule an appointment with one of these individuals, please email us using this Online Contact Form or call us at (212) 436-0845.
