The Volunteer Legal Services Corporation is one of the few resources in the Bay Area providing services to people seeking help navigating the often complex bankruptcy process.
Every August, the finest local restaurants join the ACBA Volunteer Legal Services Corporation (VLSC) to present Dine Around for Justice, an event to raise funds to provide legal services for low-income people in Alameda County. These restaurants generously agree to donate 15% of one evening’s food and beverage revenue to support VLSC.
Why do you volunteer with VLSC?
I’m a retired bankruptcy lawyer. When I retired, I knew I would need to get involved in something to keep myself from watching television all day. I also knew that a lot of low income debtors get their bankruptcy advice from non-attorneys and paralegals that not only charge to complete the paperwork, but who also don’t know enough to be giving out bankruptcy advice.
Volunteering for the bankruptcy clinic seemed like an obvious choice for putting my skills to work and keeping me busy.
Now, the return on your investment in your career is worth even more!
