Criminal Defense attorneys and Municipal Judges needed for Project Homeless Connect
 |
Project Homeless Connect on February 24th is a one-day event where more than 500 homeless people receive services from non-profit organizations including the BBVLP.
For this day only, the Department of Public Safety is onsite and provides FREE identification to homeless clients.
|
|
Homeless clients want this FREE identification so that they can get jobs, rent apartments, and get off the streets. But they cannot get IDs if they have
warrants for their arrest due to old misdemeanor and other fines on their records. This is why they first must come through the BBVLP legal area.

The BBVLP is also seeking attorneys to volunteer to help clients with bankruptcies, disability claims, and family law issues.

The BBVLP's
Patent Program
helps low-income inventors file patents with the USPTO. The program is important because these inventors do not have the resources needed that are available to larger corporations. Help put these inventors on a level playing field by volunteering today!

Attorney provides "peace of mind"
|
Blake Cole, Davis Norris, helped a Vietnam Veteran with a will and other end-of-life documents. Blake said the veteran wanted "peace of mind" knowing that his daughter would be authorized to care for him and, when the time came, his children would not have to struggle through intestate procedures.
"This case was important to me because Mr. Shorter is a Vietnam Veteran and would not have been able to afford an attorney for this work otherwise," said Attorney Cole.
