t the beginning of April, TVAS and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas (LANWT) partnered to hold the Spring 2022 Uncontested Divorce Clinic. Attorneys met and began representing low-income individuals to assist them with an uncontested divorce and paralegals involved with TVAS assisted in drafting the necessary paperwork. Philip Vickers (Cantey Hanger LLP) and Lori Spearman (Law Office of Lori A. Spearman) conducted the free CLE provided to TVAS volunteers prior to the clinic. Victoria Rhodes (Robbins Travis PLLC) is a recently licensed attorney and first-time TVAS volunteer participating in our clinic. When asked what made her interested in volunteering she stated, “It is very important to me to try and help those in need, and a meaningful way for me to do that is by helping them resolve their legal issues.” She went on to state that “You are not volunteering alone when you volunteer through TVAS, you have help and resources you need for your experience to be a success.” It takes a team of volunteers to make the clinic a success including attorneys, paralegals, and mentors and TVAS is thankful for everyone who participates.
