The Need is Great
Each year, the demand increases, and thanks to the generosity of donors and contributors like you, hundreds of families in Chelan and Douglas counties gain access to a brighter future.

Volunteer attorneys change lives and give hope to those facing intimidating legal problems. You can help someone hold their child again, keep their home, find relief from creditors, or even safety from their abuser.
CDCVAS is seeking volunteer attorneys, interpreters and clinic support to ensure that every person can receive the legal help they need in a way that works for them.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Our Mission:
The mission of Chelan Douglas County Volunteer Attorney Services is to bridge the justice gap by facilitating high-quality, equitable, and free civil legal services to people in Chelan and Douglas counties experiencing poverty.
Our Vision:
We envision a thriving community where every person has fair and equitable access to justice.
Achieving Our Mission:
CDCVAS accomplishes this mission by enlisting the help of lawyers throughout Chelan and Douglas Counties who are willing to volunteer their time on a pro bono basis. Volunteer and contract attorneys assist clients who have been screened and meet CLEAR/CDCVAS eligibility standards.
Who’s Eligible?
The potential client’s household must be low-income; AND the potential client must either live in and/or have a case pending in Chelan or Douglas County.
Together, We Keep Our Community Safe
From our Board and Staff:
We believe justice should be accessible to everyone—regardless of immigration status, race, income, gender, or background. Our mission has always been to provide compassionate, professional, and confidential civil legal help, and that will never change.
Your privacy is our priority. All legal matters are handled with the utmost confidentiality, in full accordance with our legal and professional code of ethics. We understand that some may feel uncertain about seeking help, and we want to reassure you: immigration status has never been a barrier to our services, and we no longer ask about it during intake. We are here to support you—whether in person, by phone, or over Zoom. If we can’t assist, we will do our best to connect you with someone who can.
Everyone deserves to be heard, supported, and treated with dignity. We are committed to providing guidance, resources, and legal help—without barriers or judgment. Together, we create a stronger, more just, and welcoming community.
