Out of necessity during the Covid-19 pandemic, VLB switched to a virtual, appointment-only model for volunteer lawyers to best serve our clients. The new model worked so well that even as the worst of the pandemic is over, we have continued inviting volunteers to meet with clients by phone during our Virtual Help Desks. It’s a great way to have an impact on the life of a low-income individual or family struggling with a civil legal concern, all from the comfort of your own office.
Please consider signing up for one of our virtual Help Desks, held every other Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
You will only be assigned two clients maximum per Help Desk.
You can also provide an invaluable service by accepting an extended-representation case or signing up for an in-person Wills or Expungement Clinic.
To volunteer, email Michelle Horn Brown: mbrown@vlbham.org or call 205.250.5198, ext. 11.
