Self Help

Clinics Provide Free Legal Help.

At LASSB, we go the extra mile to empower individuals with accessible legal guidance and support. Our unique approach encompasses workshops, personalized assistance, and user-friendly computer programs designed to demystify legal procedures. What sets us apart is our commitment to ensuring that self-represented litigants receive expert guidance. When you participate in our workshops or seek individual assistance, our team of dedicated attorneys meticulously review your pleadings, all at no cost to you. We’re not just here to provide assistance; we’re here to continuously enhance and refine our self-help services to better serve you. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to make the legal process more approachable and comprehensible.

Our Self-Help Services

Our Self-Help Centers welcome walk-ins for select services. If you’re unable to visit in person, you can receive assistance remotely through the LASSB Legal Advice Hotline at (909) 889-7328.

The hotline is available Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM, excluding holidays and scheduled office closures.

At the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino, our Self-Help Centers are designed to help you confidently navigate the legal system. We provide guidance and support in a range of important legal matters, including:

  • Family law (divorce, child custody, and child support)
  • Paternity matters
  • Housing issues, including landlord-tenant disputes and evictions
  • Domestic violence restraining orders
  • Guardianship and conservatorship
  • Fee waivers
  • Record expungement

We also provide referrals to additional community resources when needed.

Our support goes beyond basic information. We offer hands-on assistance through workshops, clinics, legal kiosks, and, when available, legal representation. Our goal is simple: to give you the tools, guidance, and support you need to move forward with confidence.
