Valley Bet Tzedek . . .

Bet Tzedek has a satellite office in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles County. Like the main office, it provides free legal services to eligible low-income individuals who reside in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys. Services are provided on a nonsectarian basis, without regard for age, race, religion, or immigration status.

Persons interested in obtaining legal services should call Valley Bet Tzedek to schedule an appointment. Callers will be asked to provide their name and address, income and asset information, age, and a general description of their legal problem. If appropriate, we will then schedule an intake appointment.

Valley Bet Tzedek has a staff of eight attorneys, three support staff and numerous pro bono attorneys, paralegals and volunteers. One of these attorneys exclusively handles home equity fraud cases. Five work as generalists, handling a range of cases including:

  • Eviction defense (whether a client is being evicted from an apartment, nursing home or adult residential facility)
  • Government benefits, i.e., SSI, Medi-Cal, In Home Supportive Services
  • Simple wills
  • Consumer fraud
  • Bankruptcy
  • Debt-related issues
  • Unemployment insurance
  • Durable power of attorney for health care
  • Conservatorships/Guardianships

Valley Bet Tzedek also houses Bet Tzedek’s Employment Rights Project (handling issues of unpaid wages, e.g., minimum wage, overtime, bounced checks, etc.) and the Nursing Home Advocacy Project (assisting nursing home residents and their families in a variety of legal issues).

Like the main office, Valley Bet Tzedek does not handle the following:

  • Divorce, child support
  • Criminal law
  • Immigration law
  • Personal injury or other cases that a private-practice attorney would take on a contingency basis
