Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County (NLS) - Inglewood Self Help Legal Access Center
The Inglewood Self Help Legal Access Center is a walk-in clinic that
assists persons who do not have a lawyer. Our services are free to all
residents of Los Angeles County. The center is part of a creative public
outreach project of the County of Los Angeles, The Los Angeles Superior
Court, Neighborhood Legal Services and the Legal Aid Foundation of Los
Angeles. We are trying to improve access to justice for all members of
the community. We do not have income restrictions or requirements about
your immigration status.
The center offers information, legal forms, and guidance on a variety of
civil (not criminal) matters including:
-
Evictions
-
Divorces and Paternity Actions
-
Civil Harassment
We do not help people with criminal, immigration or bankruptcy cases.
We do ask that you bring any legal documents, notices or other
papers you have received. It is also helpful if you bring a current
pay stub or proof that you receive government benefits because you
may want to ask the court to permit you to file papers without
paying court costs.
The Center does not provide legal representation or legal advice. We
work with you to help you act as your own attorney. You will be able
to fill out your paperwork at the Center, and our staff and
volunteers will provide information about the forms and legal
procedures. We are here to help you with every step, but you have to
help yourself. If your case becomes very complicated, we will give
you information about finding a private attorney or legal aid
program. A private attorney will charge you a fee.
