Murfreesboro Attorney Chase Doscher has been appointed to serve as the Rutherford and Cannon County Bar Association Public Service Chair, which focuses on the operation of the RCCBA Legal Clinic.
The RCCBA Legal Clinic began over fifteen years ago at Greenhouse Ministries in Murfreesboro. Over the years, several local attorneys have volunteered time to assist in managing the Clinic. Recently, the Legal Aid Society has provided tremendous support to the Clinic as well.
The Mission of Legal Aid is to advance, defend, and enforce the legal rights of low-income and vulnerable people in order to secure for them the basic necessities of life. As part of its mission, Legal Aid assists with legal clinics throughout the State of Tennessee, which provide an opportunity for members of the community to meet with a volunteer lawyer to discuss a legal problem.
Doscher, a 2018 graduate of the Belmont College of Law, is an Associate Attorney at The Law Office of W. Scott Kimberly, located on the Murfreesboro Public Square. His practice often focuses on helping those in need, either through pro bono assistance or court-appointed service.
“I’m excited to get to work for the clinic,” said Doscher. “They have a great system in place and I believe that we can build upon that foundation to further the mission of helping those in need.”
The RCCBA Legal Clinic meets every second and fourth Thursday of the month at Greenhouse Ministries, 309 South Spring Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37130. Sign-ups begin at 2:30 p.m. and those in need are served on a first-come, first-served basis.
