As the income gap in the U.S. widens, so too does the “justice gap” that prevents millions of Americans from being able to afford legal representation. Seaside Legal Services offers a lifeline to those in need by offering its services free of charge.
OUR AREAS OF PRACTICE:
FAMILY LAW
ELDER LEGAL ISSUES
END OF LIFE PLANNING
WILLS AND TRUSTS
CONSUMER LAW

Why free legal aid?
In criminal cases, the accused is provided with a public defender. In civil cases, it’s every man (or woman) for himself – Seaside Legal Services seeks to level that playing field by providing top-notch legal help to the citizens of south Orange County – free of charge.
