| Desc | Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program - The Houston Bar Association established the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program in 1981 to provide pro bono legal services in civil matters to low-income Houstonians who are the "working poor." They may have low-paying jobs, but do not qualify for federally-funded legal aid programs and in reality cannot afford even basic legal services. Eight years ago, the HBA established a new Equal Access to Justice Champions Program with the goal of increasing the number of pro bono cases handled by the Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program (HVLP) by at least 25%. To date more than 100 law firms, corporate legal departments and individuals have become "Equal Access Champions" by renewing commitment forms to handle a certain number of cases each year, for the next five years. HVLP has been able to more than double its representation in pro bono cases. In 2015, HVLP provided in-person, one-on-one legal advice to more than 4,000 applicants at no charge. The organization referred more than 1,000 cases to pro bono attorneys for long-term representation and assisted more than 7,000 pro se litigants at the Harris County Family Courthouse Booth. HVLP also screens applicants for eligiblity, conducts initial interviews, provides counsel and advice, trains volunteers, provides mentoring services and monitors the status of cases. HVLP accepts and refers to volunteers in the areas of family law, property law, consumer law, tort law that is not fee generating, probate law and IRS tax controversies and US Tax Court representation.The HBA's HVLP continues its outreach to the Chinese and Vietnamese communities through legal clinics. The Consumer Law Task Force continues to provide advice and counsel and pro bono legal representation to families facing foreclosure, bankruptcy, credit problems and other consumer issues in tough economic times. Other special projects include the AIDS Unit, the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, the Disability and Elder Law Unit, and the Verterans Legal Initiative. During this year, an additional $104,000 grant was given to HVLP for Free Legal Advice Clinic for Veterans and spouses of deceased Veterans at the Michael DeBakey VA Hospital in Houston's medical center. | Desc |
