Hotline Services

To better serve our client community, Legal Aid Society of Orange County (LASOC) which serves all of Orange County and Community Legal Services (CLS) which serves several cities in southeast Los Angeles County have established a Hotline.

The Hotline provides a centralized intake system for the entire service area of Orange County and southeast Los Angeles County and is a gateway to all of LASOC’s and CLS’ services.  Under the supervision of attorneys, Hotline intake workers evaluate the callers’ needs and determine the services that the caller is eligible to receive to begin to solve their legal problems.   Hotline callers receive a range of services including brief counseling on legal matters that are easy to identify, explain and resolve; an appointment in one of LASOC’s or CLS’ many legal clinics/workshops; or an office appointment in the appropriate local office. 

Multi-lingual Services

Although many Hotline intake workers are bilingual, LASOC/CLS subscribe to   Language Line Services, which enable a translator to be conference-in, often in less than a minute.
