Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Washoe Legal Services (“WLS”).  I am honored to lead an organization that has been helping people in northern Nevada for more than 50 years, and the best part of my job is working with our dedicated and passionate staff members.  Our employees could work at any number of different places.  They choose to work at WLS because they enjoy helping people; they want their jobs to make a difference; they want their communities to be a better place to live; and they believe in the values that this country was founded upon: fairness, equality, and justice for all.  Although we cannot represent everyone who needs a lawyer, we strive to provide some level of assistance to everyone who contacts us.   The legal system can be overwhelming and confusing, and this is especially true for the most vulnerable members of our community.  So, at WLS, we have developed a wide range of programs that help our clients navigate the court system, understand their rights, and ensure that they are treated with fairness, dignity and respect.  If you need our help or if you want to join WLS as a staff member, volunteer or community partner, please do not hesitate to contact us.
