DVAP - Frequently Asked Questions
| Question: | If I volunteer at a DVAP Neighborhood Legal Clinic, am I obligated to take a case for representation? |
| Answer: | No. DVAP needs volunteer attorneys to interview clients and provide advice at the clinics. There is no obligation to take a case at the clinics if you participate. |
|
| Question: | If I take a pro bono case, am I obligated to pay the client's court costs? |
| Answer: | No. Many DVAP clients qualify for an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Court Costs, which are filed with the court. This document waives the filing fee and other court costs. |
