We were founded by a group of volunteer lawyers and rabbis who saw a need in the community there,
around Fairfax and aging population, folks who were getting evicted from their homes as the area redeveloped, stories like that, and very quickly after opening their doors for their first Wednesday night
walk - in clinic realized that the need for legal services
extended far beyond the community there and quickly decided that there needed to be a legal services provider for Los Angeles, for all of the
neighborhoods of LA, for all of the people in LA who could not afford a lawyer, but needed one to ensure access to the basic necessities of life.
