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.
“I see our clients, maybe for the first time, being able to tell their story, be heard, and believed. I hope that they speak up for themselves more in the future, and hope that they can imagine better, safer, more secure lives for themselves.”

We provide legal assistance in the following areas:
We also partner with various community agencies that serve families. In addition to receiving individual support, clients also may take part in a clinic or workshop, where they are provided with legal advice and paperwork assistance in a group setting.
