The Community Tax Law Project (CTLP) provides free legal help to Virginia’s low wage families and individuals experiencing economic harm because of a tax problem. Our services directly strengthen the financial stability of working families and ensure that all Virginians receive fair and equal treatment in tax disputes. CTLP also operates a program providing free start-up legal services to Richmond area nonprofit organizations.
“We were at the end of our rope and then we heard about CTLP. You came in our family's time of need... we can't thank you enough!”

Join Us as We Honor our 2011 Volunteers
CTLP has long recognized that the backbone of our program to protect the rights of Virginia’s low- and moderate-income taxpayers is the strong and continuous support we receive from the tax professionals – attorneys, CPAs, and enrolled agents – who comprise our Pro Bono Panel. Their generosity enables us to provide assistance to more than 1000 taxpayers annually. The practitioners and firms as well as others that we have selected to honor this year are representative of the commitment and generosity shared by all of CTLP’s volunteers.
