Lowcountry Legal Volunteers (LCLV) has opened a second satellite office within the Lowcountry Outreach business plaza at 80 Lady’s Island Drive. Lowcountry Legal Volunteers is one of one of several local nonprofits to share the donated space within the new outreach center, which is now operated by St. Peter’s Catholic Church.
“It’s a natural fit for our organization and St. Peter’s and our shared mission to help those in need,” said Anne Caywood, an attorney and executive director of Lowcountry Legal Volunteers. “We are here to help our clients remove obstacles in their paths and achieve the best possible outcomes. St. Peter’s helps us do that by providing additional office space where there is a great need. Together, we’re creating equal access to justice.”
Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston will mark the special occasion with a blessing of the outreach center at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, June 4.
LCLV’s new location will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning June 15. To learn more if you qualify for services, call 843-815-1570 or go online to apply at lowcountrylegalvolunteers.org.
Lowcountry Legal Volunteers also has office space in Hardeeville at 36 Main St. Its main office is located within the 14th Circuit Family Justice Center at 108 Traders Cross in Okatie.
In 2022, Lowcountry Legal Volunteers held 24 free legal clinics, assisted more than 400 clients and their families and provided more than $2.5 million in free legal services.
Lowcountry Legal Volunteers serves those living and working in Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties and assists with child custody, visitation, guardianships, divorce involving minor children, birth certificate amendments and name changes, simple consumer matters, eviction defense, lease termination, non-refund of security deposits, simple wills and health care powers of attorney.
