A division established to assist
socially and financially disadvantaged persons, providing:
Legal Assistance
This service provides people with a general
knowledge of the law and how it affects them. We do not offer legal
advice but, rather, make people aware of the laws that apply in
particular circumstances. If it becomes clear that legal advice
is required, our consultants will refer the person to an appropriate
legal firm listed on our pro bono legal services list.
Pro Bono Representation
"Pro Bono"
is Latin, meaning "for nothing" or "free". Most
law firms provide pro bono legal services to persons of limited
financial means. Croesus has a list of such law firms and, after discovering
a person's particular needs, can direct the person to an appropriate
law firm for legal advice and - where required - legal representation.
Financial Common Sense
Croesus consultants can offer basic, common
sense advice, to people of limited financial knowledge, on practical
methods of managing money. Such things as saving money each week,
allocating funds to essential payments (credit cards, weekly shopping
bills, monthly power bills, etc.), putting together a group to buy
in bulk, and budgeting for long-term survival can be addressed on
a personal basis.
Employment Preparation
This service focuses on understanding basic
common business sense in the area of getting a job. Information
is made available on how to: dress neatly, have a haircut, walk
and speak with confidence, basic social manners, basic personal
hygiene, preparation of a C.V., telephone and face-to-face communication.
Dispute Resolution
Croesus has available qualified domestic
and commercial mediators, who will give their time free to mediate
and/or arbitrate disputes that may arise between persons qualified
to use the Croesus CommServ services.
