WHO WE ARE

The Volunteer Legal Services Project of Monroe County, Inc. (VLSP), is a program that provides free legal help to low-income residents of Monroe County, New York facing non-criminal legal problems. VLSP's services are provided by private attorneys who donate their time and talent to ensure that low-income people have access to the justice system when faced with serious legal problems.

VLSP can help with a wide variety of non-criminal legal problems such as matrimonials, Family Court practice, unemployment insurance, Chapter 7 bankruptcy, consumer and wills, among others. Some pro bono attorneys accept cases in which they provide full representation; others participate in VLSP clinics: Family Court Assistance, Debt Collection Advice, Pro-se Divorce, Wills Clinic or the Lawyer of the Morning Program in conjunction with The Legal Aid Society.
