Welcome to Bay Area Legal Services

We are a family of 49 lawyers, and a support staff of 55, all who have dedicated themselves to providing free civil legal services for low-income families throughout the Bay Area. We are commited to what we do because we are passionate about certain core beliefs -- namely, that peace and justice are two sides of the same coin.  We believe that no one should be denied hope, and that a stronger community is built when we lend a hand to our neighbors in need.

Whether you are a client who needs assistance or a friend who is interested in providing support, we are glad you are here.  Please have a look around our website.  We are here to help.
