MARYLAND VOLUNTEER LAWYERS SERVICE

Through our Workforce Development Project, MVLS partners with workforce sites where we do holistic screenings for legal barriers that will harm a trainee's ability to secure sustainable employment. While legal services often begin with expungements, this comprehensive approach also addresses other destabilizing factors including identification issues, consumer and tax matters, housing problems, and family issues. Our success in this area led to us being selected to deliver legal services to over 300 citizens serving in the Baltimore Health Corps during the COVID-19 outbreak... MVLS offers full legal representation to debtors to help them find a resolution and move forward with their life.
