LSNV Celebrates its 31st Year of Service to the Community
LSNV has worked with the private bar and the Juvenile Court to implement a Domestic Violence Attorney of the Day Program in Fairfax County. This program enlists pro bono attorneys to handle civil protective order cases in the Juvenile Court. In the years since this program has begun, it has been able to serve hundreds of individuals seeking civil protective orders in Fairfax County. LSNV, in conjunction with the Alexandria Juvenile Court and private bar, has begun a similar program in Alexandria. Please contact LSNV's pro bono coordinator at (703) 778-6800 for more information about this exciting project.
Our Clients
LSNV represented a deaf African immigrant in her Sociial Security overpayment case. The client was awarded Social Security benefits for a period of time when she was unable to work. When she returned to work, she duly notified Social Security, who advised her of her right to receive benefits and keep her earnings during the trial work period. Despite the fact that the client continued to report her earnings, Social Secuirty informed her that she had been overpaid by $33,000. LSNV successfully advocated on behalf of the client before an administrative law judge, who ruled that the client had properly notified Social Security of her earnings and that she did not owe the overpayment.
