HVLP is the recipient of the 2006 State Bar Pro Bono Award being recognized as the Pro Bono Program of the Year.
HVLP helps low-income citizens that other programs often cannot serve, such as those who may not meet the financial criteria of other legal assistance programs or non-US citizens. This is what makes HVLP unique. HVLP’s commitment to helping those in need strongly reinforces how deeply the legal profession cares about the Houston community.
