LEGAL SERVICES

FREE LEGAL SERVICES

Free legal services for qualified low-income people are available from the National Legal Services Corporation (e.g., Legal Aid Society and Legal Services Foundation). People accused of a crime that cannot afford an attorney may apply for free help from the Public Defender’s office.
In addition, law school “clinical” programs sometimes provide free or low-cost legal aid. A variety of helpful booklets covering such topics as child custody, small claims, writing a will, arrest, and other common legal issues are also available from local bar associations, your county law library, the State Bar of California, and the California Judges Association.

The California Courts Self-Help Center is very informative and will help you find legal assistance, learn about California law, work better with an attorney, and represent yourself in some legal matters. www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp
