IRS990/Desc0Houston Volunteer Lawyers (HVL) provides free legal aid to low-income Houstonians facing civil legal problems (e.g., family law, probate, landlord/tenant) through legal advice clinics that target and serve different populations (e.g., the general public, U.S. Veterans, the Chinese and Vietnamese communities, persons with HIV/AIDS). HVL has a screening process for extended representation services through which applicants are connected with a pro bono lawyer in private practice for the life of their legal problem. Houston Volunteer Lawyers is also an IRS-sponsored Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic and, in 2012, Houston Volunteer Lawyers launched the first medical-legal partnership in the Houston area with the world-renowned Texas Children's Hospital. In 2014, Houston Volunteer Lawyers provided in-person, one-on-one legal advice to over 5,800 applicants at no charge. Nearly 900 of their matters were referred to pro bono lawyers for long-term representation which represents a waiting list placement rate of 99 percent. Over 2,200 of the persons helped in 2014 were United States veterans or spouses of deceased veterans. In addition, Houston Volunteer Lawyers assisted over 5,500 pro se litigants at the Harris County District Courthouse in 2014. In 2014, 1,648 volunteer attorneys logged over 16,300 hours on pro bono cases through Houston Volunteer Lawyers, and another 3,444 hours on legal advice clinics. 235 of those attorneys had never volunteered with Houston Volunteer Lawyers before. At a rate of $250 per hour, the time donated by Houston Volunteer Lawyers volunteers represents a benefit to low-income persons seeking legal assistance just under $5,000,000.
