Pre-payment of the administrative fee is required, and referrals can take up to 3-5 business days. Master Card, VISA, cash, checks, and money orders are accepted.
Do not send payment with your referral request form. Payment will be discussed when the representative contacts you. Where appropriate, a client may apply for referral assistance under C.L.A.'s
Pro Bono Program, in which case the legal fees are waived. (Be advised that due to the high demand for free legal assistance and the State Bar's stringent income reporting requirements,
pro bono referrals require an extended placement period). We handle all arts related issues, including:
* Copyright
* Contract drafting, review and negotiation
* Nonprofit Organization Issues
* Landlord/Tenant
* Organizational Tax (not individual tax)
* Employee/independent contractor
* Mediation and Arbitration
* And more
