The Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles has developed an Experts Guide which allows local and national journalists to identify and connect with attorneys who specialize in LAFLA’s priority legal areas: housing & eviction defense, consumer, family law, immigration, government benefits, community economic development and services to the Asian Pacific & Islander communities. These experts help journalists to create more compelling and authoritative stories.
