Support LSNV
What would you do if you desperately needed an
attorney … but couldn’t afford one?
LSNV helps thousands of people each year who are in
this situation. According to the most recent U.S. Census,
a surprising total of more than 150,000 people in Northern
Virginia are poor enough to qualify for legal aid. For
those who cannot afford an attorney on their own, legal
aid can make the difference between going hungry and
obtaining food stamps, between eviction or being able to
stay in their home, between remaining in an abusive
situation or getting away. Although LSNV has 31 case
handlers on staff, as well as hundreds of volunteers, we
still do not have sufficient resources to serve everyone
in the community who requires our assistance. Legal
Services of Northern Virginia appeals to the community for
donations so that we may continue to provide legal
assistance free of charge to those who so desperately need
our help. Donations - which are tax-deductible as allowed
by law - may be sent to:
Legal
Services of Northern Virginia
6066 Leesburg Pike, Suite 500
Falls Church, VA 22041
Additionally, LSNV can always use equipment/furniture
donations: IBM compatible computers (Pentium or higher),
reference books for our law libraries, conference room
chairs, and filing cabinets. Call James Ferguson
at (703) 778-6800, if you have equipment to donate or if
you have questions about donations.
Donations may qualify you for a tax credit under the
Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP). If you
would like information on NAP credits, please
contact (703) 778-6800.
Every gift is important and allows LSNV to continue
to provide crucial services to those in the community who
need us. Thank you in advance for your support.
a very limited time
commitment. To introduce the project and to provide
comprehensive training for attorneys, LSNV can schedule a free
viewing of a videotape of a recent CLE that includes a
presentation on the procedure and evidence in protective order
cases, tips and pointers from the bench, and a mock trial.
LSNV’s experienced staff will also provide ongoing mentoring
to any interested attorneys. A law degree is a powerful
tool with which you can help make our community safer.
Please join us in this effort. For more information,
please call (703) 246-4379.
