Legal Aid Services

Central Virginia Alliance for Community Living (CVACL) partners with Virginia Legal Aid Society (VLAS) to assist individuals for legal issues related to civil (not criminal) matters in the legal system, such as simple Wills and Power of Attorney.

This program is available to individuals who are 60 years of age and older who cannot afford private legal counsel. Special consideration is given to those in the greatest economic or social need. Other qualification factors include risk for institutional placement, residency in long-term care facilities, limited English proficiency, and residence in rural or geographically isolated areas.
