The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County is a private nonprofit law firm founded in 1959 to provide free civil legal services to low-income residents of San Mateo County who are particularly vulnerable due to age, disability, language, or family violence. Based in Redwood City, California, it operates in the legal services sector and pursues a mission to fight social injustice through civil legal advocacy for people living in poverty. Its work seeks to remove barriers to basic necessities by offering legal representation, community education, and systemic advocacy in collaboration with community partners. In 2019 the organization partnered with CommunityConnect Labs to develop a solution intended to assist vulnerable communities affected by changes. The group functions as a small to mid-sized nonprofit focused on civil legal advocacy and collaboration with community partners. It serves San Mateo County residents who are low-income, striving to improve access to housing, health care, economic security, and safety through its legal services.
