When you call for assistance, please choose ext 2. This will put you in contact with the intake coordinator who will assist you. If she is unavailable, leave and message and she will contact you as soon as she is able. Trying to contact MVLP through other means may delay assistance and this delay may be critical to timely addressing your legal needs.
After speaking with the intake coordinator, callers will be informed if their case can be accepted. Unfortunately, even though the best efforts, not all MVLP accepted cases can be placed with an attorney.
