Testimonials
Volunteering as an attorney at [CLA] has been...profoundly rewarding...[and] deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities[,] enriched my professional development and strengthened my faith in Jesus and dedication to community service. Sally, Volunteer Attorney
[Participating in a CLA phone clinic] was full of firsts for me.., observing a skilled lawyer apply the law to real cases, and truly feeling the challenges clients face when dealing with legal issues... I could hear the client’s fear and anxiety [but] the lead attorney managed to provide legal guidance while showing genuine care and empathy. By the end of the call, the client’s voice was strong and empowered.... I [witnessed] the transformative power of individuals who answered the Lord’s calling and opened their hearts to help others. Starla, Law Student Intern
...I was graciously welcomed by Chrystal [and] was able to fellowship with other law students and attorneys during lunchtime, learning from their experiences. The team I was placed in was led by two amazing and passionate attorneys... CLA-LA exceeded all the expectations I had... The clients we served left the clinic feeling hope for their situations... I wholeheartedly recommend that every law student and attorney consider volunteering with...CLA-LA. Kevin, Law Student Intern
Working with [CLA-LA] has really changed the way I view the law and the way I view the work we can do for Christ. I feel like I serve Christ at each clinic, and that is something I would not trade for anything in the world. CLA-LA has not only loosed the bonds of legal burdens for so many, but you all have loosed the chains of oppression the world has thrown on them simply by being there as Christ would have been. Melissa, Attorney Volunteer
Volunteering at CLA enables me to help meet urgent legal needs for some of Los Angeles' neediest and most deserving citizens in a safe, affirming environment, where faith, hope and love are freely offered, along with a good meal. CLA provides an environment where lawyers can serve, where the needy can be served, and where God's love can change lives. Garrett, Attorney Volunteer
What makes serving with CLA so special is twofold. First, CLA lifts up and supports other Christians who are experiencing legal problems. CLA not only focuses on the legal issues at hand, but most importantly, also encourages our brothers and sisters spiritually. Second, CLA is an opportunity for the community to hear about Jesus. A person may come in expecting a free legal clinic, but may also learn the riches of spiritual salvation through Jesus. Jonathan, Law Student Volunteer
