About MVLS

Each eligible individual client is matched with a volunteer lawyer who has the appropriate skills and expertise to provide quality representation. With a volunteer pool of 2,700 lawyers, MVLS provides services in every jurisdiction in the state. Click here for a complete description of our services.
