Who We Are
Volunteer Legal Services Hawaii provides statewide legal assistance to the community through education, legal advice clinics, brief services, and referrals to pro bono attorneys for direct representation. Its mission is to increase legal access for those who cannot afford to hire an attorney due to financial hardships. Volunteer Legal believes that residents of the State of Hawaii should not be barred from accessing the legal system simply because of their poverty.
