Legal Aid At Work

Anonymous

A few years ago, I was a poor student working for peanuts. The ELC was very useful and effective when I quit my job early and did not pay, using my boss's sexual harassment and the "per project" payments. They didn't collect all my salary, but they got most of it, so it was pretty timely.

Thank you!

It's not at all useful, it's actually not useful, it's actually the worst.

I was honestly surprised to see other reviewers actually ask for help. Because she's a woman? !?

I don't know if they're getting the money from the Koch brothers for this Ogosho on Montgomery Street. In my experience, they have nothing to do with the actual realities of the poor and the workers, and they actively avoid situations where they use their resources to create good changes.

I endured the tragic experience of open wage theft and retaliation and sought their help. Some of the people in the house are friendly and optimistic, but don't cheat. They are law school trainees and they are not very good at speaking. Those who actually decide whether or not to ask for help do dirty work to the interns without having to meet directly. In five to ten minutes, the intern may be able to fully understand the case, but in another room with a nice office overlooking Montgomery Street, he looks at the papers and says, "I'm sorry..."

In my case, press the problem to the bad ones in DLSE. In fact, if you call on a labor law issue, it's their main point to get DLSE to deal with it. When corrupt policemen like DLSE exaggerate certain cases, are there any other muscles to accept it, besides organizations of this size, in order to accept the political orders behind divorce, which have changed from the governor of the villain to the governor of the governor of the blunder? Do you think "Paco's homeless dishwasher" is really near the right resources to run the legal system to blame corrupt public servants? Most. You're gonna ruin California's Pacos, right?

Anyway, I think this organization will help at least one person. One day I can walk and see the impressive forehead painted on the wall. All the donors that might have thought their funds would have followed the legal rights of the unlucky. The secretaries in a nasty mood must look at many hours today.

I really don't know what this place can do now. As a child, I must have set forth some form of social progress goals, but at this point it seems to be one of many non-profit organizations that deceive the poor and believe that this country has a path to justice so as not to rebel. I think it was my first clue that they spent much of their money in beautiful offices and did not have the resources to provide legal support.

The true charities are more modest.

My poor ass decided to ask LAS-ELC for help on recent wage issues and bad custody issues with my former employer.

Every Wednesday night from 6:00 to 7:30, open the clinic phone. I called and asked my name and phone number (after a 5-10 minute hold) and said someone would call me that night from 7:00 to 7:30.

8:30, they called me to say that I don't have a call today, and I booked it the next day.
>When I called on Thursday, I spoke to a law school student from UC Berkeley. He was so helpful and understood about my situation that I called him back. After I had discussed with the lawyer's counsel, I soon had better talks with them and it cost me no more than a day.

If you make too much money, you won't be able to help, so check the website to see if you can join this service. So, in this case, I'm poor, okay?
