DC Volunteer Lawyers Project

Who We Are

Main Desc. The DC Volunteer Lawyers Project is a nonprofit organization that offers free legal services to low-income District of Columbia residents in family law and civil protection order cases.

Our volunteer lawyers provide free legal advice or representation to survivors of domestic violence, in civil protection order, custody/visitation, and divorce cases. We also represent children at risk of harm in high-conflict custody cases.

If you need help with domestic violence, please visit our walk-in domestic violence resource clinic. For more information about our clinic, please go here: dcvlp.org/clinic.
