Inland Empire Latino Lawyers Association Inc., IELLA Legal Aid Project *

Organization Description:


IELLA Legal Aid Project, Inc. (IELLA) provides free legal services and equal access to the law for the disenfranchised residents of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.

IELLA's services are rendered by pro bono attorneys who volunteer their time during our legal aid clinics. Our clinics are conveniently located in Riverside, Colton and Ontario and Corona. After clients have been determined eligible, they are seen by our pro bono attorneys. The attorneys provide the clients with counsel & advice on their legal matters. Additionally, our staff and volunteers prepare legal documents per attorney instructions as necessary to serve their legal needs.



Pro Bono Project Description:


Legal Aid Clinics
IELLA's Pro Bono Volunteer Attorneys volunteer at minimum once month at a designated clinic. If availability allows, attorneys may volunteer as often as desired. Scheduling is flexible and is coordinated with IELLA's Volunteer Coordinator.

Extended Services
For clients with cases requiring greater levels of assistance than counsel & advice or document preparation, our pro bono attorneys conduct extensive work outside of IELLA's office on behalf of our clients. Our volunteer attorneys may also assist with legal research, negotiation with opposing counsel, and other services, including courtroom representation.
