Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach Dba Nihonmachi Legal Outre

I was disappointed by the lack of communication and follow through I received while getting support with my divorce case. I was also disappointed because the lawyer assigned to me seemed only concerned with what was easy and quick instead of advocating for my full rights.
So although I received pro-​bono services I also lost out on spousal support and community property because my lawyer didn’t want to «fight» for her client.

This organization did a PHENOMENAL job helping my girlfriend get a divorce from her abusive husband. Her pro-​bono attorney went above and beyond the call of duty and was compassionate and professional.
What an amazing place.

Originally based in Japantown, a devoted group of lawmakers and attorneys formed this to benefit the many newcomers and seniors with legal issues such as immigration, battered women, and senior benefits. Their board members are dedicated and respected community leaders who range from court judges to corporate attorneys; they volunteer their precious time to this organization in supporting people in need.
They also hold a number of group activities such as trivia contests and their annual fundraiser held in September. For the past few years, they held this event at Google’s headquarters, convinced Hawaiian celebrity chef Sam Choy to cook the dinner, and hosted a golf tournament before the dinner event.
This is not only a great cause, but many of its staff and volunteers are our young, budding community leaders of the future.
