LSHV’s Commitment
The support of pro bono lawyers is crucial for LSHV’s mission, making a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable residents in the Hudson Valley by preventing homelessness, ensuring access to vital government services, and preserving family unity.
LSHV Opportunities
LSHV offers a variety of pro bono roles, from our virtual Housing Advice Clinic to either full or limited representation in legal matters such as eviction prevention, debt resolution, child custody, and securing government benefits.
We offer comprehensive training and continual assistance to our pro bono attorneys, allowing them to directly interact with clients, refine their courtroom skills, and deepen their knowledge in specific legal areas. Whether you’re involved in a single-day event or in ongoing representation in court, the experience promises to be fulfilling.
