DCBA Legal Assistance Programs

The DLSC maintains and supports three legal assistance programs, the Family Law Assistance Center, the Small Claims Assistance Center and the Veterans Law Center. We utilize the help of volunteer lawyers, paralegals, and law students to help us keep these programs going. All of the programs are now being offered via Zoom. For an appointment to obtain legal assistance please email dcba.uwlegalclinics@gmail.com or call 608-618-2970. To volunteer with one of these programs please contact Jennifer Binkley at jenniferbinkley@yahoo.com.
