Welcome

The DC Volunteer Lawyers Project (DCVLP) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization whose mission is to provide civil legal services to needy children and families in the District of Columbia on a no fee (pro bono) or reduced fee basis. There are vastly more cases involving low-income individuals in our community than there are lawyers who can provide services, and nowhere is this more critical than in the area of family law. The most vulnerable members of society -- indigent women and children -- all too frequently lack legal representation in domestic violence, custody and adoption cases. In order to accomplish its mission, DCVLP has recruited a cadre of experienced volunteer attorneys who are not currently affiliated with law firms, in most cases because they are taking time off from the full-time practice of law in order to focus on their families. These lawyers seek to give back to the community by providing legal services to those most in need.
