BASF/Volunteer Legal Services Program - Pro Bono Opportunities for Attorneys

The Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) strives to enhance the income, self-sufficiency and general quality of life of poor and low-income San Francisco residents primarily through the use of volunteer resources. Our clients include immigrants, battered women and children, seniors, individuals facing eviction, children and adults with disabilities, homeless individuals and families, among others. We have numerous litigation and transactional pro bono opportunities for experienced and newer attorneys. Attorneys who volunteer with VLSP receive free training and MCLE credit, malpractice insurance coverage for their pro bono cases, access to meeting rooms and a mentor support system. Some of our project areas include: family law, eviction defense, homeless advocacy, tort defense, consumer, low income tax clinic, SSI advocacy and transactional business law. We also need experienced attorneys (especially immigration, workers compensation and family law attorneys) for our monthly Saturday legal advice and referral clinic.
