The Legal Aid Society of Orange County, based in Santa Ana, Calif., among its many services provides legal and tax services to low income residents. LASOC programs are designed to offer civil legal support to individuals of modest means, as defined by federal law. The legal aid services are typically provided in family law areas, bankruptcy, child support, civil harassment, divorce, guardianship, name changes, and tax.

Like other programs funded by the Legal Services Corp., LASOC is faced with resource challenges — including enough trained volunteers and staff — so it is difficult to provide high levels of civil legal aid to the many low-income residents who qualify for it. Prioritizing legal services is a continuing issue that needs to be resolved to make optimal use staff resources.
