The 38th Annual Northern Kentucky Volunteer Lawyers (NKVL) Pro Bono Awards Luncheon is Tuesday, October 4 at Summit Hills Country Club in Crestview Hills.

Special recognitions for volunteer attorneys who provided exceptional service will be presented at this event.

Hosted by Legal Aid of the Bluegrass in partnership with the Northern Kentucky Bar Association and sponsored by Lawyers Mutual Insurance of Kentucky, the luncheon celebrates the meaningful service of volunteer lawyers helping those in need in our community.

Northern Kentucky Volunteer Lawyers have provided assistance and representation to over 100 people in the past year. This assistance varies from helping victims of domestic violence achieve safety, assisting veterans with procuring benefits, helping seniors complete Living Wills and POA’s, and helping people obtain a divorce.

Volunteer attorneys are truly unsung heroes extending access to justice to the low-income and elderly populations of Northern Kentucky. LABG and NKVL perform services free of charge to clients.

Legal Aid of the Bluegrass serves 33 Kentucky counties to resolve the most important problems of low income and other vulnerable people by providing high quality legal assistance through direct representation, education, advice, advocacy and coordination with other community resources.
