It’s people like you…

The Public Law Center helps coordinate the pro-bono activities of over 1,500 volunteers in Orange County annually. We could not provide free civil legal services to low-income and vulnerable residents without the help of attorneys, law firms, corporate legal departments, paralegals, interpreters, and college student volunteers.

It’s people like you who choose to contribute your time and expertise to help change lives.

It’s people like you who provide a guardian for a child.

It’s people like you who help a veteran stay in their home.

It’s people like you who assist a survivor of domestic violence.

It’s people like you who change lives and communities for the better, forever.
