DeafROC

Hello,

My name is Jamie Zollweg and I am a paralegal with Volunteer Legal Services Project. I would like to inform you of our program and be added to your online list of Rochester Area resources targeting the deaf and hard of hearing community. Here is a brief over-view of our organization, the VLSP organization provides free legal representation in civil matters to low-income residents of Monroe County, New York through a panel of over 1,000 pro-bono private attorneys and legal professionals. VLSP provides services to individuals with income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. Volunteer attorneys represent and advise clients in a wide variety of civil areas including tax, unemployment insurance, consumer, bankruptcy, collections, tort defense, real estate, pensions, Supplemental Social Security Income, wills, standby guardianship, divorce, custody, visitation, child support and many other substantive areas.

Beginning in 2007, VLSP has been operating an ESL LITC to inform deaf and hard of hearing individuals about their federal tax rights and responsibilities. During the start-up phase, the LITC has publicized its services to provide information and education to deaf and hard of hearing individuals understand the federal tax system.

I have attached a copy of our brochures for both out LITC program and the VLSP Program itself. If you would like more information about any of our services please feel free to contact us. Our website at VLSP is www.vlsprochester.org and if individuals would like more specific information regarding any of our services and/or programs they can contact me directly via e-mail at jzollweg@wnylc.com.
