Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto

Stacy Townsend is amazing. She listened, didn’t judge, and worked out a resolution that was fair to all involved. She is a really great attorney and I was lucky to have her help. This organization is a godsend for the community and anyone who says otherwise must be over privileged and/or mad that someone was willing to help the tenant they were hoping to be rid of.

They looking to make money off you. I'd stay away from them.

I loved it, they helped me like never before, I highly recommend them.

Super helpful and responsive. I was able to get my matter resolved. Grateful to this entity and their service to the community!!!

Helped my friend win her ssdi case

They have help me and my family on different occasions and they are very professional and supportive. I’ve been able to renew my DACA application through their clinic’s

Excellent

They represent criminals, Justice is not in their books. Truth is irrelevant and fairness is nonexistent. They try to split a hair and muddy the issue.

They help you a lot

If I could give 1,000 stars, I would. I am so happy and satisfied with the attention they have given us since the day they decided to take my mom's case. The road wasn't short, but it was worth the wait, thank God. They managed to get my mom out of immigration detention at the Mesa Verde Detention Center in Bakersfield in February 2019, after my mom had turned herself in to immigration at the border crossing between Tijuana and San Ysidro, California, in October 2017. They didn't grant her parole because, "according to" the judge, she was a risk of not showing up in court again. Thank God these lawyers went to the detention center where my mom was being held to review immigration cases and they were interested in her case. I still remember that day; my mom called me crying with emotion, and that's where the fight to get her out of detention began. And although the lawyer, Tess Feldman, is no longer working at this legal center, I want to emphasize that I will always be there for her. I am grateful to Attorney Tess Feldman for all the support she gave us and for helping us secure bail for my mother so she could fight her asylum case outside of detention. When my mother was released, she already had a petition filed by my older sister, a U.S. citizen, and after more than five years, today, December 8, 2022, my mother received her permanent resident card! I also want to thank Attorney Martha, my mother's current attorney, who helped us a lot. She always advised and guided my mother to achieve positive results, and I want to thank the entire team at Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto. I truly admire these people who helped my mother so much. We will be forever grateful. May God protect and bless them always. I also want to tell those who haven't had a good experience with these lawyers that not all cases are the same. Personally, my mother's case seemed very difficult to me for certain reasons, but thanks to God and these lawyers, they did the impossible for my mother. Thank you again, thank you so much!
