Service Information
Anyone seeking legal assistance or acceptance into any of our 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, we will contact you to inform you if we 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 our programs. MVLs service area includes Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, and Jefferson county. Unfortunately, we 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 our help is huge, and we simply cannot help everyone who applies. We 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.
*We may have a conflict of interest.
*Finally, despite our best efforts, we 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.,

Mission Statement: 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.”
