Get In Touch
SDCLS provides legal education, workshops, limited-scope guidance, and form and document assistance only. SDCLS does not provide full legal representation or ongoing legal services. Services are limited to California law and are focused on family law issues such as custody and support, requests for restraining orders, and elder abuse and neglect concerns. Submitting a form, attending a workshop, receiving one-on-one guidance, or obtaining document or form assistance does not create an attorney-client relationship.
