Oakland-based Legal Assistance for Seniors is a nonprofit that is working to provide an array of services for senior citizens.
OAKLAND — Ms. EMaia recalls how she burst into tears when she witnessed a judge’s ruling over a guardianship fight that had become a daily ordeal for her.
By happy chance, a Google search brought EMaia to a nonprofit with a straightforward name: Legal Assistance for Seniors. Three women — described on the organization’s website as founding mothers Willie James, Jane Welch and Doka Clausen — launched the operation in 1976. Over the years, the organization began to steadily widen its portfolio of free legal offerings for seniors in Alameda County.
“They really worked with me on my case,” Street said. “I didn’t even know where to begin. I am so thankful and happy and appreciative that I found them and how they were able to help me. They took care of everything.”
