The Law Foundation, a non-profit organization located in San Jose, California, provides free legal services to Silicon Valley residents in need. Our services are available through five programs: Fair Housing Law Project, Health Legal Services, Legal Advocates for Children & Youth, Mental Health Advocacy Project, and Public Interest Law Firm. The mission of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley is to secure justice and protect human rights by providing legal advocacy, counseling, and access to the legal system for those who would otherwise be underrepresented.
