Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

FORECLOSURE INTERVENTION PROGRAMThe VLP Foreclosure Intervention Program represents and assists Brooklyn residents facing foreclosure as a result of subprime or unconventional loan products through the Pro Bono Foreclosure Panel, a panel of trained pro bono attorneys recruited, trained, supervised and mentored by the VLP.

Activity 3

FAMILY LAW PROGRAMVLP volunteer attorneys provide assistance to families and individuals in crisis, providing representation and counsel on a variety of family law matters, including child support, custody, visitation, uncontested divorce and spousal support. The family law program is designed with special concern for women who are victims of domestic violence and with a keen sensitivity to resolving familial conflicts with a minimum of disruption and animosity. The VLP has an active self-represented uncontested divorce program that assists many women and men whose lives are in crisis or at a standstill because they were abandoned or are victims of domestic violence and/or emotional abuse. Most are referred to the VLP by the Office of the Self-Represented in Supreme Court. Others learn about the VLP clinic from other legal service providers. Brooklyn residents must have income of no more than 200% of the applicable Federal Poverty Guidelines for assistance through this program.
