Legal Access Alameda's Community Legal Assistance Saturday (CLASP) offers free legal help by phone. In a brief, one-on-one call, a volunteer attorney can give general advice, guidance, and referrals.

Ways CLASP Helps

• Answers to Legal Questions: Ask a volunteer attorney about your situation.
• Referrals: Get connected to legal, social, or government services.
• Know Your Rights: Learn about your legal options.
• Language Support: Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese interpreters may be available.

How It Works

1. Call the Intake Line: Call 510-485-9933 on the first Saturday of each month, between 10 AM and 12 PM
2. Get a Call Back: An attorney will call you later that same Saturday for your consultation
