Mississippi Bar Volunteer Lawyers Project

Potential MVLP clients are screened by the state’s LSC entities and MVLP’s staff to determine whether they qualify for MVLP’s services. If a potential client qualifies for MVLP’s services, the client is matched with a volunteer attorney who will represent him/her on behalf of MVLP. MVLP clients have cases in the following areas – uncontested divorce, removal of minority/emancipation, wills, adoption, guardianship, name change, birth certificate correction, child support contempt, child support modification, conservatorship and visitation.
