Description

Anyone seeking legal assistance or acceptance into any of their programs must call Colorado Legal Services (CLS) at 303-837-1313 to complete an intake interview.

A CLS staff member will conduct an interview with you to determine your financially eligibility for free or low-fee legal services, and the nature of your legal issue.

CLS may then refer your case to MVL. If referred to our organization, they will contact you to inform you if they can provide any assistance.

If you first contact Metro Volunteer Lawyers directly you will be redirected to Colorado Legal Services.

MVL will not respond to requests for legal assistance by those not yet accepted into one of their programs.

MVLs service area includes Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, and Jefferson county.

Unfortunately, they are not able to help everyone who seeks legal assistance.

This could be for various reasons, including but limited to the following:

  • The demand for their help is huge, and they simply cannot help everyone who applies.

They assist eligible clients referred to MVL on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Your income and resources may exceed our financial eligibility guidelines. A change in your financial situation could render you ineligible even if you were eligible when you first applied. 
  • Your legal issue may not fall under the types of cases that we accept.
  • They may have a conflict of interest.
  • Finally, despite their best efforts, they may not be able to find a lawyer to take your case.   

Although strongly encouraged, lawyers are not obligated to volunteer their time and services.

Office hours:

MonThurs: 9 a.m.5 p.m.,Fri: 9 a.m.4 p.m.
