About

Volunteer Lawyer Network Inc is a legal aid organization serving Northern Indiana and the broader Michiana region. Based in South Bend, the organization connects individuals with free legal advice and representation across six counties: St. Joseph, Elkhart, Starke, Kosciusko, LaPorte, and Marshall. This includes coverage of major population centers such as South Bend, Elkhart, Mishawaka, Warsaw, Plymouth, Knox, LaPorte, and Michigan City.

The Volunteer Lawyer Network operates as a bridge between people who need legal assistance and volunteer attorneys willing to provide it. The organization's core mission is to help individuals access the legal help they need, particularly those who might otherwise lack the resources to obtain counsel. By leveraging a network of volunteer lawyers throughout the region, the organization extends legal services to underserved populations across Northern Indiana.

The network maintains a statewide structure that allows it to serve multiple communities and counties effectively. It welcomes involvement from both the public seeking assistance and attorneys interested in volunteering their services. This dual focus—meeting client demand while recruiting and coordinating volunteer legal professionals—defines the organization's approach to expanding access to justice in the Michiana area.
