About Us

WHO WE ARE

Since 1977, the Volunteer Lawyers Project has strived to give equal access to representation for the people of Greater Boston and statewide under the Landlord Advocacy Project, standing up for those from lower-income households and in need of legal aid. Our efforts are propelled by a strong team of volunteers, including attorneys, paralegals, and law students from all segments of the legal community. These vital volunteers work together with our entire dedicated staff.
