Volunteer Legal Services of Central Texas (VLS) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded in May 1981 by a small group of people dedicated to helping the overflow of low-income individuals seeking help from the local legal aid office.
Our mission is to help low-income clients access the civil justice system by providing volunteer attorneys who donate free legal advice and representation and by supporting and training those attorneys.
VLS will work with you to find a case that meets your time constraints and comfort level. Use the opportunity to learn a new field or stick to what you know. Either way, we can give you a call when we get a case that meets your needs. Or, if you prefer, we can refer cases to you on a more routine basis.
