Volunteer Legal Services Program of the Bar Association of San Francisco
VLSP provides a no-fee, pro bono panel system in most areas of civil law.
Clients are screened for income (must be at poverty level guidelines or
lower). All intake is done over the phone; clients call during our open
intake hours during the week. VLSP matches clients with pro bono private
attorneys through our Program, or schedules clients for one of our clinics
staffed by pro bono private attorneys. All clients and cases are handled
on an appointment basis, coordinated by VLSP staff and supervising
attorneys. VLSP provides free legal and related social services in almost
all areas of civil law except fee-generating matters or criminal and
juvenile cases where the Public Defender provides representation. We speak
Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) and Spanish, and can provide interpreters
in Russian and Tagalog.
