Providing Free Legal Assistance for People Living in San Diego County Who Qualify for Our Services

Beneath the Beauty that is San Diego, lies a shocking reality:  Over 1 million of our 3 million County Residents live in Economic Hardship (at or below 200% of the federal poverty limit). These residents lack the funds to meet all of their basic needs, let alone pay for a lawyer.  We are here to help

Our legal system is complex for anyone. But for those unable to hire a lawyer, it is downright intimidating. For 96 years The Office of Public Attorney, now the Legal Aid Society of San Diego, has steadfastly provided free professional legal services to these families and individuals.
