Dayton Volunteer Lawyers...
Virtual
Law
Office Program announced for Darke County
May 9, 2012
The Greater
Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project is pleased to announce the launch of
its new
Virtual Law Office Program. This program will utilize innovative
technology to
bridge the gap between the available Pro Bono Attorneys in the Dayton
Metro
Area and Low Income Darke County Residents facing civil legal issues
and who
could not otherwise afford an Attorney.
The number
one priority of the Greater Dayton Volunteer Lawyers Project has always
been to
ensure equal access to justice for those in need, within its seven
county
service area. Eligibility is determined by income and applicants must
be at or
below 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines to qualify. Civil cases
only –
which can include Expungement and driver’s license reinstatement, but
may not
include criminal matters or appeals. Types of issues which may be
eligible are
Family Law, Estate Planning, Consumer Issues, Landlord/Tenant Disputes,
Employment Discrimination and much more!
The Virtual
Law Office is one more innovative delivery method which GDVLP will be
using to
bring justice to the people and to accomplish this objective more
effectively
where geographic barriers might prevent needy families and individuals
from
accessing legal services.
