Volunteer Attorneys

 

Legal Education and Services was the Housing Crisis Center's first program to prevent homelessness in Dallas.  Initiated in 1978, the program provides free access and advice to tenants facing legal struggles with their landlord.

For the past 29 years, this program has been successful due to the partnerships developed with various law firms and other independent attorneys.

The Housing Crisis Center sincerely thanks all of our partners and over 150 attorneys who volunteer their time and talents each Wednesday evening.

Participating Dallas law firms include:

Akin Gump
Baker Botts, L.L.P.
Hughes & Luce Hunton & Williams
Locke, Lidell, & Sapp
Thompson & Knight
