Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation
Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (AVLF) is a nonprofit that stands with low-income Atlantans as they demand safe and stable housing, insist on fair pay, and break free from domestic violence. We are the largest provider of pro bono legal services in Atlanta, and we leverage the collective power of our professional community to provide free legal and social services to our clients when they need it most. With teams at Fulton County Courthouse and deeply embedded in Atlanta’s underserved communities, we meet our clients where they are, geographically and emotionally, and address not just their legal needs, but whatever else they need to thrive. For over 40 years, Atlanta’s brightest legal talents have volunteered their time to help our clients in their fight for justice—and have found that they get a great deal back in return. As these lawyers lift the community, their personal and professional lives—and the lives of our clients—are enriched in equal measure. Together, we’re working to create safer and more stable families, homes and communities, and a more fair and equitable Atlanta.
