About us
Bay Area Legal Aid (BayLegal) ensures fairness in the civil justice system for the most vulnerable members of our community. From Silicon Valley to Napa Valley, we help clients protect their livelihoods, their health, and their families. Our clients include the working poor, families with children, foster youth, seniors, immigrants, veterans, and persons with disabilities. Through our regional county offices, our mobile advocacy clinics, and our nationally-recognized Legal Advice Line, BayLegal prevents domestic violence and sexual assault, increases economic stability, protects consumers, expands access to healthcare, and prevents homelessness. For our clients, BayLegal makes the difference between staying in poverty and thriving toward a brighter future. We provide low-income clients with free civil legal assistance, including legal advice and counsel, effective referrals, and legal representation. We are the largest civil legal aid provider serving seven Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara. BayLegal thrives on our diversity and we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a culturally diverse workplace and strongly encourage women, persons of color, LGBTQ individuals, veterans, persons with disabilities, and persons from other underrepresented groups to apply.

Thanks to BayLegal Board Director Shahrad Milanfar for getting #GivingTuesday off to a great start. We hope you will remember BayLegal's critical work to help close the justice gap for thousands of low-income Bay Area residents today and throughout the holiday giving season. baylegal.org/give
All, As some of you know, I'm a board member for Bay Area Legal Aid. I was an intern for Legal Aid in Santa Cruz when I was in college and saw firsthand the dedication of their attorneys and staff. Almost 30 years later, I joined the board for Bay Area Legal Aid to support the incredible work being done for our community. The services provided by Bay Legal are extensive and directly support members of our community. They provide services in support of veterans, consumer protection, health care, economic justice, homelessness prevention, youth justice, and more. If you are still deciding on year end donations, please consider joining my firm in donating to this worthy mission. Your donation will go a long way to help others in these tough times. Thanks in advance for your support. #givingtuesday #givingback #givingbacktothecommunity #givingtuesday2023 #gratitute
