SALA (Senior Adults Legal Assistance) is a non-profit elder law office based in San Jose, California, dedicated to supporting older individuals in their pursuit of safe, independent, and dignified living. Since its establishment in 1973, SALA has been providing free legal services and community education to residents aged 60 and above in Santa Clara County. Their team of attorneys offers a wide range of legal assistance, from advice referrals to comprehensive representation, focusing on matters that are often overlooked by private attorneys but have a significant impact on the most vulnerable elders in the community.
With a commitment to delivering quality legal services, SALA prioritizes in-person meetings with clients to thoroughly review their legal matters and relevant documents. They primarily offer appointments at senior centers throughout Santa Clara County, and their attorneys also conduct home visits for institutionalized and homebound elders. Urgent legal assistance is available through their hotline for cases that meet emergency guidelines, such as elder abuse, termination of public benefits, and sheriff's evictions. SALA's dedication to equal opportunity service provision ensures that they assist individuals regardless of race, sex, religion, disability, or age, targeting their services specifically to those aged 60 or older.
