The Neighborhood Legal Clinics (NLC) provides free, substantive legal advice and consultation in an environment that is informal, friendly, and accessible. The clinics serve over 8,000 clients annually, regardless of income, in 39 clinics countywide. In a 30 minute meeting, the NLC attorney will determine the clients’ problem and then advise and direct the client in a manner that will lead to a resolution of their problem. Currently NLC has several opportunities at various locations; please see below for detail information on locations and times.
