Start with your situation

California legal help, from injury claims to everyday legal problems

Choose the issue before choosing a city. California pages cover accident and work injuries as well as employment, immigration, family, criminal, debt, estate, property and business matters. The Central Valley pages also include farm and food-processing injury topics.

Work-injury topics

Farm work, food processing and warehouse injuries

Start with the kind of work you did and where the injury happened. A farm injury, repetitive warehouse injury and denied benefit claim may need different information at intake.

California case-review questions

Common questions

Is CA Legal Help a law firm or a legal-aid office?

No. This is a legal advertising website, not a law firm or government legal-aid office. Participating firms are paid advertisers. We do not give legal advice, evaluate attorneys or guarantee that a firm will accept your matter.

Can I request help for something other than an injury?

Yes. California has pages for eleven practice-area groups. Use the practice-area links below to find the closest match; selecting a category does not mean a firm has accepted your matter.

What does a free case review include?

There is no charge to submit a request. A participating firm may review your situation and contact you. Free review does not mean free ongoing representation; the firm explains any fees and decides whether it can assist.

What if my California city is not listed?

The city links are starting points, not a list of local offices. You can enter the actual incident location in the state form. Availability depends on the case type and participating firms; submitting does not guarantee a match.

Does sending this form file a claim or protect a deadline?

No. This form does not file a lawsuit, insurance claim, workers’ compensation claim or appeal, and does not extend a deadline. Use the appropriate official process and ask a qualified attorney about your specific deadline.

What should I include in my request?

Include the incident location, approximate date, a short account of what happened and a reliable way to contact you. Mention any written denial or court notice. Do not include Social Security numbers, bank details or full medical records in this form.
