Low Cost Lawyers OfferingAffordable Legal Services in Los Angeles Since 1972!

Working Peoples Law Center in Los Angeles

Working People’s Law Center is the oldest run community law center in Los Angeles. We specialize in legal work for our community, with a strong focus on low income individuals and families. As social activists, we take pride in helping families through several affordable legal services. Our team consists of child custody lawyers, child support lawyers, and divorce attorneys. We also take on criminal law cases, including felony defense and record expungement.

We believe in offering affordable legal representation to all clients who need it. Our budget-friendly attorneys specialize in a variety of cases with much proven success. As affordable and friendly lawyers, we have acquired more than 40 years of high-quality representation skills.

From simple child support cases to dissolutions with complex financial issues, our center has the experience and resources to get the job done. Apart from its family law and criminal law practice, the law center has participated in some of the highest profile civil rights and social justice cases and issues of the past decades, including: the fight to desegregate the Los Angeles school system; the fight to overturn the Three Strikes law; the lawsuit against civil rights abuses by the Lynwood Sheriff’s Department; the Rampart scandal; as well as the clergy abuse cases, just to name a few. The Working People’s Law Center is committed to pursuing justice through litigation, agitation and occupation.

„I was dealing with DCFS and had been fighting them for 18 months. All the allegations were false, yet i could not get my son back. I hired Sam, and he worked miracles and got my child back home and the case closed. The price was so reasonable and the outcome is worth every penny. I would definitely refer anyone to this firm. No nonsense, No frills and no price gouging bur you get results.“

„Working People's Law Center is very helpful and genuinely care about you. I am so grateful for their time and help. They have the best communication with their clients and always update them with every detail or change. Working People's Law Center is simply the best.“

„These are people who generally care and try their hardest to help. I have had the pleasure of knowing Art Goldberg personally as well as doing business with him. A great person to have in your corner.“

„I got my green card today thanks to the amazing support from Sam and his team, Gregoire and Gabby. Everything to do with the my application was made simple and clear for me to understand and the costs were more than reasonable. I did see a couple of stuffy lawyers before going to Sam and the contrast was miles apart. They have offered a friendly family feel to the whole process and I am forever grateful! Thank you guys! I will be recommending you to anyone who asks!“

Working People's Law Center

Unlike other law firms, our legal fees are billed on a sliding scale based on each client's income and the complexity of each case. We don't bill you "in quarter hour increments" just to have a telephone call with you. That's ridiculous! Our reasonable fees and excellent work create long lasting relationships with our clients. We frequently serve the children of clients we worked for decades ago.

Our core areas of practice are family law, criminal law, and civil rights law. If you are arrested for civil disobedience, we will represent you for free! We also house the law offices of Sam Baumer , who specializes in immigration, asylum and LGBT law. Please call us if you have a problem, or a “friend” with a problem, and we will give you a free consultation.
