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."
