Bay Area Legal Services

Bay Area Legal Services started helping people in 1967. They wanted to give free legal help to folks in Tampa Bay who didn't have much money. They focus on providing sound legal advice by helping individuals and nonprofit groups who don't have easy access to legal services. They aim to solve the legal problems of the people they support and keep their independence, hope, and dignity intact.

Bay Area Legal Services wants to make it easier for everyone to get justice by offering top-notch legal services, teaching people about the law, and teaming up with the community. These issues include things like housing, family matters, domestic violence, consumer rights, and problems at work.

Bay Area Legal Services guides and supports individuals in family matters like divorce, child custody, child support, and domestic violence cases. They also have specialized help for people dealing with domestic violence, offering assistance in getting protective orders and understanding the legal processes involved.

Working with lawyers who volunteer their time for free, Bay Area Legal Services aims to make legal help available to more people. They want to ensure that those who can't afford a private lawyer still get the help they need. The organization also reaches out to the community, educating people about their legal rights and responsibilities. This way, Bay Area Legal Services stays true to its mission of making justice accessible for everyone.
