ALSC Volunteer Attorney Support

The Volunteer Attorney Support (VAS) is a program of the Alaska Legal Services Corporation that for over twenty years, has assisted hundreds of low-income Alaskans with their legal problems through a statewide network of volunteer attorneys and other professionals. The program does not accept direct requests for legal assistance. In order to qualify for services, clients must meet ALSC financial eligibility and case criteria guidelines. The nearest ALSC office will make this determination. Services offered to eligible clients are: * Representation * A one-time free consultation with a pro bono attorney * Legal Clinics
