Overall Financial Benefits to Clients in 2021 The Los Angeles Legal Aid Foundation`s Self-Help Legal Access Centers offer assistance to self-represented litigants with: Do you help with affidavits for small real estate or probate matters? I was on the phone with a law firm in San Francisco this morning and they are taking on new cases because they are piling up and don`t have representatives in this area. I was advised to contact your offices and demand the best you could give me, because I was told that I had a very open and closed record of crimes and abuses committed against me by this management company. This question is very important because I am a veterinarian and I am ready for evictions with 2 other tenants. I can also apply to submit a prominent estate, my health, safety and property are threatened with destruction and the vet is homeless.
