Legal professionals looking for an opportunity to raise money for the Volunteer Lawyers Project at Legal Aid Services of Oregon can register to attend 20th Annual VLP Golf Championship scheduled for 10/9/2017.
Naegeli Deposition and Trial is a sponsor at this year’s event. Donations raised will go to the following programs:
Portland Office Volunteer Lawyer Project – The LASO Portland Regional Office coordinates or collaborates in several pro bono projects including the Bankruptcy Clinic, Clackamas County Bar Association Legal Aid Clinic, Domestic Violence Project, Legal Aid Night Clinic, ProBonoOregon Listserv, Pro Se Assistance Project, Senior Law Project and the Statewide Tax Clinic.
Bankruptcy Clinic – The Oregon State Bar Debtor-Creditor Section and the VLP sponsor this project that provides information and representation to clients who are considering bankruptcy or who are already in U.S. Bankruptcy Court as pro se litigants. The project consists of two components, a class addressing bankruptcy issues and a clinic during which volunteer attorneys each meet with two clients for 30-minute appointments. Anyone may attend the 45-minute class, which is taught by a member of the bankruptcy bar or bench.
Clackamas County Bar Association Legal Aid Clinic – The CCBA Legal Aid Clinic is a partnership between the Clackamas County Bar Association and LASO. The clinic is held quarterly and is designed to help low-income clients in Clackamas County complete expungement paperwork. Volunteer attorneys meet with clients, help them assess whether they qualify for an expungement and, if so, complete the paperwork. Clinics take place quarterly and are one-time brief service clinics. Training materials are available.
When asked about the reasons behind attending this event, Richard Teraci of Naegeli said:
“This benefit is great opportunity for the legal community to give back. Legal Aid Services of Oregon helps many in the community, and we like to be apart of that.”
