| Other Information: |
Clients can access our services in 2 ways: Call us at 800-433-6251, or attend one of our clinics.
NLS provides free legal services to low-income residents. We serve significant portions 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 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 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. |
