Billable Hours For Your Soul - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

As is the case in a declining economy, it hits the most vulnerable members of our society the hardest. DVAP always has more pre-screened cases than volunteer attorneys to file them. If you have any interest in being contacted with potential cases that come in, please contact Whitney Brehaney (contact information provided below).
