Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County

First he didn't call me back after 2 weeks when they told me they were going to call me the next day when I talk to somebody there she gave me the run-around and wasn't exactly truthful about my options against my insurance company. It was more like I was given the bum's rush. Sad because I could have done more but when you're talking to somebody that's helping you oppose somebody else shouldn't be making excuses for that person that's my opinion I don't know what's happening with our Legal Aid Society I really just like everybody else and blaming it on covid-19

Legal aid for certain issues but do not offer assistant to the most important issues facing by minorities and poor ones. The problem with civil rights issues caused many to become vulnerable and their records made the job search impossible caused many issues. Many were target by LE ruined their lives because lack of knowledge, no help and cannot afford lawyers. I wish there are some will understand the impact and step up to help the needs for justice and equal protection.

Did not make it clear that the 30 minute consultation did not involve any action within that timeframe for a very simple matter. Also they did not state that the fee is non-refundable. Not helpful at all.

Not helpful. Center is staffed by volunteers with no legal background. Single attorney there is distracted and disinterested. He is a specialist in some area, so cannot offer general legal advice. Spent most of my consultation doodling on his paper. There is no low cost or pro bono services here. If you need an attorney, legal aid will charge 30 dollars to get you a name and a number. The attorney still charges the same 300+ bucks an hour. Skip them, google the info and use Yelp to find an attorney for free.
