VLAS Helps Families and Individuals With Legal Assistance
Written by Alyssa Wilson, University of Lynchburg Bonner Intern
The Virginia Legal Aid Society works to provide legal assistance to low-income individuals and families throughout Virginia, although they have a local office in downtown Lynchburg.
VLAS was established in 1977 and currently handles about 3,000 cases per year, most often relating to housing and domestic violence.
