Myth:
I don’t have the time.
Fact:
In just two hours spent volunteering at a Help Desk, you’d be surprised how much
you can do to help low-income clients resolve civil legal issues.
Myth: I don’t know enough about (fill in the blank) law to help.
Fact:
Regardless of your specialty in private practice, you can volunteer to help with
family law, landlord/tenant conflicts, veterans’ needs, and more. You’ll have
access to a VLB staff attorney on site, relevant legal forms, and an Attorney
Playbook—a step-by-step guide for common legal issues at the Help Desk.
Myth:
It’s impossible to know if the clients are truly low income.
Fact:
VLB vets all potential clients for eligibility, so you’ll always know the person sitting
across from you is truly in need of pro bono assistance.
