Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service

Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) removes barriers to justice through free civil legal help, community engagement, and advocacy for equitable laws. Our vision is for a fair legal system that is free of injustice and equitably serves underrepresented Marylanders. 
 
MVLS matches one client and one pro bono volunteer. MVLS provides free legal assistance for those that income-qualify.  Our panel of more than 1,600 volunteer attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents help clients with family law disputes, housing and consumer cases, estate planning and administration, criminal record relief, and income tax issues.  When individuals are left to navigate the confusing legal system on their own, their outcomes are often negative.  With the help of volunteers, who work beside them throughout the entirety of their legal matters, it ensures that their voices are fully heard in their legal problem.
