The Virginia State Bar Clients’ Protection Fund was created by the Supreme Court of Virginia in 1976 to reimburse persons who suffer a financial loss because of dishonest conduct by a Virginia lawyer. Awards from the Clients’ Protection Fund are discretionary and are not a matter of right. The fund is not taxpayer funded, but is funded by Virginia lawyers who are assessed an annual fee of up to $25. For more information on the fund, go to https://www.vsb.org/site/public/clients-protection-fund.
If you have any questions, you may contact Vivian R. Byrd, Administrator to Clients’ Protection Fund, at (804) 775-0572 or e-mail cpf@vsb.org
