I was helped by a very nice attorney. The attorney really cared and my problem was resolved after months. They never charge anything. All services are free. Nice to have a nonprofit on your side.

I called as directed by the Courthouse in New Port Richey. I opted for a call back. The Rep did not identify herself and demanded to know the legal issue. I got 3 words out of my mouth, she said we don't handle that and hung up on me. Wasn't this for an intake? I waiting patiently, and I would think she would have at least taken a proper intake. I am a senior woman who was directed my the Pasco Sheriff office to file an injunction to protect myself. I a recipient of the PVSA for numerous years in the legal field and never failed to listen, try to assist or locate someone to assist with the issue. You would think someone would at least taken a proper intake. Shame on you Bay Area Legal Services, it appears that reps are only there to collect a paycheck and don't care about the public.

Hung up on me multiple times and would not let me fill out an application. Every time I called back I would ask the name of the person I was talking to and she would immediately place me on hold without telling me. Very unprofessional and disrespectful behavior.

Geez , sounds to me that the guy's don't care enough to notify you. It's not fair. Do you have a lawyer to back up this plus more.. cause his lawyer could get fired for disrespecting you. I'll pray for you. They just don't care enough. Something is very wrong. Please fight this. Woman don't get respected like New York City. Etc.

I'M GOING TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH YOU LEGAL AID IS A GREAT WAY FOR YOU TO START WITH THE LEGAL PREPARATIONS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM HAVE YOU IN MIND. AND IF YOU FEEL THAT THAT LEGAL AID REPRESENTATIVE IS NOT DOING AN ADEQUATE JOB THEN REQUEST ANOTHER ONE. INFORM YOURSELF WITH MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY TAKE TO REPRESENT YOURSELF.
