Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto (CLSEPA) provides legal assistance to low-income individuals and families in East Palo Alto and the surrounding community. Our practice areas include housing, immigration, general civil litigation, and anti-predatory lending.
We opened our doors in September 2002 and currently handle approximately 1,700 cases per year, helping some 1,200 clients. Volunteer attorneys, law students, and community volunteers work with our dedicated staff members to provide life-changing legal services to residents in need.
We are a community-based organization funded by grants and donations from foundations, law firms, legal organizations, and individuals who recognize the importance of providing the protections of the law to those who wouldn’t otherwise have them.
