Due to limited resources, DNA turns away nearly 3,000 people a year who ask for its help. Attorneys are uniquely qualified to assist people in poverty who experience substantially more legal problems than anyone else in our community - problems often resulting from poverty itself.
Each year, at least 100 volunteer attorneys take a pro bono case in Arizona and New Mexico, through DNA's VLP. DNA practices in Arizona and New Mexico, plus in tribal court in Navajo, Hopi, Havasupai, Hualapai and Jicarilla Apache.
