Bay Area Legal Aid (BayLegal) is a non-profit law firm.

Our staff provide free civil legal services to individuals and families living in poverty in the San Francisco Bay Area. We provide services in seven Bay Area counties.

We practice in multiple inter-related legal substantive areas to prevent and stop homelessness, increase economic stability, protect low-income consumers, expand access to healthcare, and enhance safety for survivors of interpersonal violence.

Our clients include the working poor, families with children, foster youth, seniors, immigrants, veterans, individuals impacted by the criminal and juvenile legal systems, and persons with disabilities.

The core of our community-based practice is working alongside our clients to protect their legal rights, resolve immediate crises and remove legal barriers to long-term stability and escaping poverty.

BayLegal is also uniquely positioned to identify patterns of illegal practices and opportunities to protect our clients’ rights and increase efficiency and effectiveness of public services through broader advocacy and impact litigation given our regional community-based service model and wide range of access points, including legal hotlines, six physical offices, community-based advocacy clinics, and intake points.  BayLegal’s Finance Department :
