Who We Are

The Legal Aid Society of San Diego, Inc. (LASSD) strengthens our community by fighting for justice. We provide low-income clients with free civil legal assistance, including legal advice and counsel, effective referrals, and legal representation. We are the largest poverty law firm serving San Diego County. We can help with many types of legal problems that individuals face. To thousands of San Diego residents living in poverty, justice is not an abstract ideal. It is food, shelter and protection. It is the difference between staying in poverty and getting out; between dependence and self-reliance. But without help, justice is often denied. We can assist with the areas of law listed below:

• Civil Appeals (selfhelp workshop)
• Conservatorships
• Consumer Protection and Bankruptcy
• Education Rights
• Eviction Defense
• Family Law
• Health Coverage (such as MediCal) and Access to Care (such as medications and mental health services)
• Housing Discrimination
• Immigration

• Landlord Tenant issues, Eviction Defense, Foreclosure, and Public Housing
• Name or Gender Marker Changes
• Outpatient behavioral health grievances and appeals
• Public Assistance (such as Food Relief and Cash Aid)
• Restraining Orders
• SSI Benefits
• Taxpayer Rights and Education
