Areas of Law

Community Legal Aid SoCal provides support and services to help people who are struggling with civil legal issues. Our representatives can address a wide variety of legal challenges, but not all of them. Sometimes we connect individuals to additional legal services needed to ensure their safety and security.

Our workshops and clinics have helped thousands of residents with difficult situations.
