Vincentian Legal Services is a nonprofit legal aid society committed to providing compassionate, high-quality legal assistance to those who need it most. We proudly serve veterans through the Supportive Services for Veterans (SSVF) Program funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and offer an income-based low bono program for individuals and families facing poverty, homelessness, or financial hardship.
Rooted in the Vincentian tradition of service, our mission is to ensure that every person—regardless of circumstance—has access to justice, dignity, and the opportunity to build a stable, self-sufficient life.
To provide compassionate, high-quality legal aid that protects rights, restores stability, and empowers individuals and families to move forward with dignity.
A community where every person, especially veterans and those facing poverty, has equal access to justice, opportunity, and the support they need to thrive.
We combine direct representation, education, and community partnerships to resolve legal challenges while addressing the deeper issues that keep people in crisis.
Clients turn to Vincentian Legal Services because they find more than legal advice. They find understanding, advocacy, and respect. Our attorneys and staff take time to listen, educate, and walk alongside every client from start to resolution.
We partner with community organizations, social service providers, and local networks to address not only legal challenges but also the root causes of instability. This holistic approach helps clients secure housing, protect their families, and build long-term independence.
As Chief Legal Counsel, my role is simple: make sure people understand their rights and have a fair chance to move forward.
This work is guided by a belief that legal support should be clear, practical, and accessible. Every decision is made with an understanding of the real-world challenges people face when housing, benefits, or stability are at risk.
