Contra Costa Senior Legal Services

Great organization and great people. And that's from the administration assistant right up through their lawyer. I have no idea why there are negative reviews, especially about their attorney Victoria. She was very helpful and professional. I'm a low income senior and my landlord was selling the rental I live in. Things got nasty from him and his lawyers. Victoria explained my rights and what my options were. It ended up great having someone look out for me. Things have turned around. The landlord changed his attitude and I got enough time to find a new rental. Thanks for you help CCSLS.

I am a victim of rent fraud and discrimination on the basis of disability, and Contra Costa Senior Legal Services refused to help me. The lawyer I spoke to--I believe her name was Veronica--was not even familiar with the most elementary facts of tenant law, such as that one tenant cannot evict another, that eviction requires a cause, that someone who has lived in a place for 28 days and receives mail there is by law on the lease, and that the disabled are protected by law from most evictions. She declined even to research these questions. If this agency is neither qualified nor interested in protecting people over 60 (I am 62) from unlawful evictions, they should be immediately defunded and forced to close down. Employees should not be allowed to post reviews, since their reviews are not

I would not recommend this agency whatsoever it’s a hit and miss chance if you have no other options I wish you luck for me I did not get the help I needed for my restraining order and the lawyer tried to say it was a conflict of interest they are very tricky good luck to anyone who goes here

I spoke with Victoria who told me she’s a lawyer from Contra Costa Senior Legal Service facility. After two days she call me back with no explanation and refused to help me out with my case . I’m really do not understand why !! Next day I call back to spoke to her supervisor who gave me some excuses but never told me the real truth why she doesn’t want to take my case if she already help three people for the same complex with similarities issues. Very disappointed unprofessional people . This was my first and last time to talk to them.

Very helpful & friendly. Drew up a will with living POA(power of attorney) free of charge. I got answers to many questions. The Law students and the Professor were professional and knowledgeable and very thorough. This is a wonderful service.
