New Vision Organization, Inc founded in 2004, previously assisted the incarcerated men, women and youth nationwide, although now assisting first-time Offenders of ANY Offense, never previously involved with the law and incarcerated individuals whose Human/Civil Rights are being seriously violated.
Prisoners are too often stereotyped, without having their voices heard and many suffering at the hands of those we were once taught to look up to. New Vision Organization, Inc seeks non-Biased, Pro Bono Attorneys, who are Leaders and not followers. Who can use discernment and not judge others based on peer pervasiveness. Lawyers are needed to supervise and oversee, paralegals and law students, working to assist indigent incarcerated clients of this Organization. All Interested parties can contact:
Leonna Abraham Brandao at nvopres@verizon.net. or, call (508) 583-0051
