IMPORTANT UPDATE, DECEMBER 4, 2020
The Legal Advice Line will be closed starting this Monday, December 7, 2020 until January 3, 2020. We are closing slightly early for the holiday this year in order to perform key technological upgrades that will allow us to better serve clients in the new year. During this time, we recommend that you use the resources at www.lawhelpca.org to find legal help based on your location and issue, or call 211. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we hope everyone stays safe and enjoys the holiday season.
