Long Beach Office Open House Celebration

On December 16, 2009, the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles LAFLA re-opened a new office to serve Long Beach and Harbor community residents. The open house celebration was attended by more than 100 civic leaders, nonprofit partners and community residents. The office is located at 601 Pacific Avenue, Long Beach 90802 and can be reached at (562) 435-3501. Our new office is accessible to the community and close to public transportation.

LAFLA has been serving poor and low-income families in Long Beach and the surrounding area since 2001, when it merged with the Legal Aid Foundation of Long Beach (LAFLB), founded in 1953. The merger enabled LAFLA, one of the oldest and largest public interest law firms in the nation, to expand its free legal services to a growing diverse community. Annually, LAFLA provides legal assistance to approximately 14,000 individuals and families and helps an additional 55,000 individuals and community partners through referrals, training and community education.

Attorneys and advocates provide a range of legal services such as in LAFLA’s priority areas of housing/eviction defense, family law/domestic violence, government benefits, immigration, and record expungement. Our attorneys also staff a Domestic Violence Clinic and a Self Help Legal Access Center at the Long Beach Superior Court.

The Long Beach Office has an active Client Advisory Council, whose members are involved in various outreach activities and provides critical feedback to our staff. The Client Council is chaired by Karen Adelseck of the Long Beach Senior Latino Club. Below is a full list of Client Council members.
