Clark County Volunteer Lawyers Program

The staff are extremely helpful in connecting you with a lawyer to answer your legal questions. They are not lawyers themselves though so don't expect to get your question answered same day as the program is designed to make an appointment with you and a lawyer. They have most of the forms you would pay $20-$55 dollars for at the court house. There open 5 days a week which is fantastic though they do sometimes take a lunch so plan accordingly. Also, if your legal problem is in regard to some paperwork bring a copy with you or email them a copy in advance and it will greatly improve the advice you recieve. Finally, the program is based on income so you should call in advance to see if you qualify. Hope you get your legal problems resolved.

3.5 weeks of schedule/cancel/reschedule game of chicken. First attempt was 2 weeks to get to talk to someone. They cancelled 2 days before with only ever one time option for next week even after requesting an alternative. The second time they cancelled 3 hours before. Both times required my rearranging my schedule to accommodate their only one time slot per week. They reschedule for 11:30 on Monday. 11:45 Monday I called them, which they responded they were very pleased to know that I called before they could call me. Apparently the lawyer was just getting to the phone calls. Which was now my first indication that I was not the only person scheduled at 11:30 that day. When the call came at 1:30 p.m. it was very apparent that the lawyer was not prepared for my call because in order to talk about the detailed terms of my contract that I had sent over prior to last week's meeting, she was having issues with her computer and unable to access them. So great that a nonprofit could use all that money to just reschedule people and not really give assistance. Very very poor form for a nonprofit. Will never go to then again!

I've been trying to get a hold of someone for over 2 months. Nobody will return my calls or online inquiry.

You get what you pay for, which is nothing. They do admit to not having enough lawyers and resources just to being limited and understaffed, yet super busy. It took a while for someone to call me back, but the woman who finally helped me was very sweet and took her time while on the phone with me. They weren't able to handle what I had asked them about, but were happy to direct me to other resources that could answer my questions.

I just want to extend a huge thank you to Jim, and his team here. Saying he went above and beyond for the safety of me, and my children, is an understatement. It was a huge amount of work, and figuring out what to do for my overly complicated case, and he was there every step of the way for our high risk case. These people work here because they genuinely care... I wish I knew of a better place to leave a good review, but 5 stars is not enough for the help we got, thank you Jim, and everyone at the Clark County Volunteer Lawyers program.
