Our mission is to stabilize homeownership for lower-income Marylanders.

A brief history

Since 1981, Maryland Volunteer Lawyers Service has provided pro bono legal services to lower-income Marylanders. We launched the "My Home, My Deed, My Legacy" project in 2019 to provide opportunities for housing stabilization and wealth building, primarily in communities of color in Baltimore City, with a focus on the provision of legal services, education and outreach, and elevating the impact of tangled titles on housing loss. 

We have held homeowner clinics throughout Baltimore. Volunteer attorneys help clients determine if they legally own their home and identify legal remedies to ensure they can keep their family home and pass it to their next generation. 

Where we are today

Our team has grown from being just one staff attorney to having two staff attorneys and two paralegals. We are excited to be able to support our volunteers better, advocate more at the General Assembly and expand our focus to the eastern shore.

Who we serve

We can only serve clients that make less than the amounts listed in the table. See our main page for additional information.
