Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance, Inc

I am a Grubhub driver. The customer placed an order from Baja Fresh on Ming Avenue through the Marketplace. The name on the order was Anna P. I arrived at the delivery address, 615 California Avenue, and handed the order directly to the customer. However, I did not receive payment because the customer, listed as Anna P. or Annacelli P., reported that the order was not received.

I'm in early stages of consultation with GBLA, however they have all been supportive, knowledgeable, & are providing me with excellent service. Thank you!

I didn't go in for there service but I definitely stand behind what they do al&& how they serve the community is a great way to show appreciation && really know that they care about individuals and the circumstances they are going threw. I unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to experience there service because what I needed help with they dont assist with.

I don't recommend them. They stole my money on a case that was three years old, and I never received a response. I ended up canceling it, and they didn't refund my money. And when you call, they say they'll call you back, but they never do. It's terrible.

They don't help with family legal problems. Not even by filling out forms.

Review for GBLA (Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance): I’m very disappointed with my experience at GBLA. Every time I’ve called or asked for help, I’ve been dismissed or passed around. I’m a low-income tenant trying to follow the proper legal steps, but instead of receiving clear guidance or compassion, I’ve been told things like “we don’t handle that” with no direction on where to go next. GBLA’s website and mission say they help with housing and eviction cases, but in reality, it feels like no one wants to take the time to listen or connect me to real resources. When people are scared and trying to do things the right way, we need kindness and clear help — not to be made to feel like a burden. I truly hope GBLA will review how they communicate with clients in crisis. Even a small amount of understanding and follow-through could make a big difference for those of us trying to stay housed and follow the law.

Just give a raid to some one,I was outside waiting but it's so hot 104 f, a lady toll me to wait inside and asked for water to another lady and tell me no water, then I see a security guard come in grab his water bottle and then go to get water for himself , at this point I fell shame for those people who denied a water. God Bless then.

Sincere customer service

A friend of mine is getting evicted and had gotten served already what does he need to do if he wants to keep his home ?

Yes I had a lawyer fight for me years ago his name is Justin and please with his help

Very efficient personable Thorough and punctual Grateful to have this Service available

We needed help with an appeal for medi-cal dental for my son’s braces and Alonso was SOO SOO helpful with what was a very stressful situation. Honestly I do not think we would have gotten them approved without his help. He was very on top of all communications with the insurance, appeals department and ortho office. I really appreciated his timely communication with me about what was going on and updates every step of the way.

The lawyer would not fight the case even though I had paid rent and the manager even gave me a copy of that month’s receipt and I had 2 videos of the people threatening me and destroying my belongings and of them harassing me to the point that I went into a panic attack and started yelling for the manager because I couldn’t get my phone to work at the time. The main manager told me that she knows my lawyer from here and that they talk all the time, after he quit and never explained anything to me the entire time and I don’t understand any of this stuff, while she was threatening me with a lock out and came back and took my siding I needed and hauled it off because I was had other things to move into storage first and couldn’t move it yet. The lawyer I had didn’t even look at any of my proof And only believe the other side. I would only give a 0 but they don’t give that as a choice.

Victor has always been very helpful. He helped us on various occasions, always polite and knowledgeable. The staff are also nice and helpful!

I am a disabled senior on a fixed income in Bakersfield and after I notified my landlord of 5 years that I needed surgery and would require a live-in nurse for a few days, I was served with a 60-day Notice of Termination of Tenancy and then ultimately a Unlawful Detainer. GBLA responded immediately to my need for assistance in this matter and provided me with important information, advice and legal services. Attorney Mr. Peter Chang and multiple staff members including Elise, Dailyah, Anna and Yarnell have been especially helpful, respectful and kind. Thank you so much for all your help! 5-Stars...Highly recommended!
