Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County

Empowering Communities Through Legal Aid

Founded in 1959 by a dedicated group of lawyers and community leaders, the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County addresses the unmet legal needs of the less fortunate. The organization began with a landmark case involving a Spanish-speaking maid, and has since evolved into one of California's most respected public interest law firms. With a commitment to serving marginalized populations, the Legal Aid Society has garnered numerous awards for its excellence in legal services.
