Blue Ridge Legal Services, Inc.

Mission Statement

Blue Ridge Legal Services, Inc. (BRLS) is a nonprofit charitable law firm providing free legal assistance in many types of civil matters of critical importance to low-income residents of the Shenandoah Valley and Roanoke Valley. BRLS is committed to eliminating poverty-based inequities in the civil justice system by providing high-quality legal advice and representation to low-income residents of our service area, folks who would otherwise be unable to obtain legal help due to their poverty. Our mission is premised on the recognition that the American ideal of "Equal Justice for All" can be achieved only if we provide the poor meaningful access to our judicial system.
