We help people (first-come, first-served) with paperwork for a Petition for, or a Response to, a Domestic Violence Restraining Order.  We help with forms and explain how to handle a restraining order case in court.  We do not offer in court representation.

LASSD strengthens our community by fighting for justice. We provide low-income clients with free civil legal assistance, including legal advice and counsel, effective referrals, and legal representation. We are the largest poverty law firm serving San Diego County.  We can help with many types of legal problems that individuals face.  To thousands of San Diego residents living in poverty, justice is not an abstract ideal. It is food, shelter and protection. It is the difference between staying in poverty and getting out; between dependence and self-reliance. But without help, justice is often denied.  We can assist with the areas of law listed below.
