Overview

Our Guardianship team runs a pro per guardianship clinic at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, helping unrepresented litigants prepare pleadings in probate guardianship matters. Our clinic is the primary probate self-help resource for pro per litigants in Los Angeles County, completing over 3,000 services a year.

We also engage in policy advocacy to ensure that families are not being inappropriately diverted to probate court after interactions with the child welfare system, and provide representation in a limited number of cases to parents facing a terminal illness and children who may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status visas.
