VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY REFERRALS
Metro Volunteer Lawyers needs volunteers that can assist low-income applicants filing for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. We currently have 51 bankruptcy applicants that are eligible for pro bono legal assistance. Volunteers will receive information regarding the applicant’s Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case via email, and upon review of the case, the volunteer will decide whether or not they can assist the applicant. MVL applicants are aware of their responsibilities for paying costs such as a $335 filing fee, credit counseling course, copies, mailings, faxes, etc. MVL’s mission is “to bridge the gap in access to justice by coordinating the provision of pro bono legal services by volunteer lawyers within the Denver Metro Area to people who could not otherwise afford legal services for their civil legal issues.” We cannot fulfill our mission without the help of our fantastic panel of volunteers. Please volunteer today! For more information, please contact Ivonne Esparza at [email protected].
