Mission Statement

The mission of Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service is to provide quality civil legal assistance to Marylanders with limited income at low or no cost.

Description

Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service (MVLS) provides quality pro bono civil legal services to Marylanders of limited means. MVLS is the largest pro bono legal services provider in the state both in terms of volunteers, over 1,000 lawyers on its panel, and clients served, 75,000 since its founding in 1981.

Our core pro bono program expands the capacity of Maryland’s overburdened legal services delivery system which can serve only 20% of low-income clients in need of civil legal services. The current economic downturn has exacerbated the need for legal services, MVLS volunteer lawyers help 3,000 low-income Marylanders every year.
