Cy Pres Awards
Why Choose ALRP?
ALRP is a model of stability and good management. Each year, ALRP leverages approximately $1 million in pro bono legal services as part of its public/private partnership with the San Francisco Bay Area legal community.
ALRP handles a wide variety of civil legal matters. Many of our cases are in the areas of housing, immigration, insurance/benefits, employment, and confidentiality.
ALRP is a trusted partner. ALRP receives funding through the State Bar’s Legal Services Trust Fund and its programs are reviewed favorably by the State Bar each year.
ALRP clients need your support. Our clients often come to us during some of the toughest moments of their lives. And with 80% of our clients living on $30,000 or less a year, paying for a lawyer is simply not a possibility.
