About this facility

Mission: Since 1965, Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County (NLS-LA) has provided free legal services to low-income residents. We serve all of Los Angeles County, including the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, the neighboring communities in the Pomona, Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys, and the cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena. NLS-LA provides the highest quality services to its clients, individually and collectively. Our advocacy is directed towards both the needs of the individual client requesting legal assistance, and to clients who seek to enforce the broader rights of the low-income community. Equally important to NLS-LA is the development of self-help skills and other tools, which allow clients and client groups to solve their own problems and improve their lives and communities.
Areas served: Los Angeles County
Eligibility: Low Income Folks / Impacted by the 11/08 Sayre Wildfire
Service: Permanent

Notes

Neighborhood Legal Services is a non-profit legal services organization that gives free civil legal services to low-income residents of Los Angeles County. If we cannot help you directly or you are over our income limits, we can still assist in placing your case with a pro bono attorney or by giving you a free referral and consultation with a private bar attorney.

Disaster-related services:

Housing questions (paying rent, mortgages, property taxes, utilities)

Cleanup of the site (who is responsible, who pays for it)

Replacement of documents (immigration paperwork, proof of ownership and occupancy, other ID documents)

Assistance with FEMA, SBA, and insurance disputes (coverage, amount of award, etc)

Disability accommodations, either for temporary housing or new permanent housing (modifications for people with limited mobility, cleanup for people with respiratory problems, etc)

Any other legal issues arising from the fires

If you run into problems replacing important documents, please call Neighborhood Legal Services at (800) 433-6251 for help."
