The VLSP Story
Founded by The Bar Association of San Francisco in 1977, VLSP is a nonprofit provider of free legal and social services to low income individuals and families. It began as a small pro bono project under the leadership of its then President James Brosnahan, a partner at Morrison & Foerster.
In 2004, under the direction of VLSP Director, Tanya Neiman, the program served thousands of low-income people in San Francisco.
