CHANLGIVINEGS Through Equal Access to Justice 2015 Annual Report The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County

Legal Aid Society OF SAN MATEO COUNTYThe Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County has been changing lives formore than 50 years. We improve access to justice for the poor, the elderly,veterans, families in crisis, immigrants: those who are most in need.In 2015, we helped over 2,400 clients. More than half were defined asextremely low income, with over 300 having no current income at all.39% listed a primary language other than English, presenting an obstacleto navigating the justice system.55% faced housing issues, including the threat of homelessness, as countyrents continued to rise at an unprecedented rate.Hundreds more needed our help to access healthcare and other safety netbenefits to which they were entitled, to be protected from the threat ofelder abuse, or domestic violence, or to get the educational services theirchildren need to succeed in school.That's where Legal Aid's dedicated staff and pro bono partners wentto work, bringing hours of effort, years of experience, and profoundempathy to their cases.So far, 79% of those clients have received favorable legal outcomes, withmore still pending. This is the story of how we did it.

Dear Friends of Legal Aid,At its heart, equal access to justice is about everyone’s ability to participatein the systems of administration of justice, regardless of how muchmoney they have. It’s a concept of fairness. It’s what drives our missionat the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County. When vulnerable and low-income people are in crisis — trying to protect their homes, their families,their health or their livelihoods — they turn to the Legal Aid Societyof San Mateo County for civil legal aid. Last year, the average annualfamily income of our clients was less than $16,000. Many of our clients— including seniors, veterans, children, persons with disabilities, anddomestic violence survivors — faced severe housing issues, including thethreat of homelessness.In this annual report you’ll learn about the life-changing impacts of ourwork. You’ll get a chance to read the stories of clients, and the thoughtsof our distinguished staff. They respond every day with legal advice,education and representation. You’ll also learn about the pro bonocontributions made by legal services professionals, who contributed anincredible 11,000+ hours over the past year.With our privilege comes the responsibility to aid those who need, butcannot afford, legal services. We respectfully ask you to stand with usand make a contribution using the enclosed envelope, or by visiting ourwebsite: www.legalaidsmc.org. We know that every gift, no matter thesize, is from your heart.Thank you for changing lives through equal access to justice.Mary Lin M. Stacey HawverPresident, Board of Directors Executive Director

CHANLGIVINEGS in San Mateo County\"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice\" -- Nelson MandelaThere is still poverty in our community. Despite a fast- growing economy in SanMateo County, approximately 59,000 residents live below the federal povertythreshold: just $23,550 for a family of four.The San Mateo County Housing Authority’s July 2015 housing indicators report notesthat the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the county is now $2,516, a 50.2percent increase in four years.According to kidsdata.org, in 2012, the most recent data available, over 28,600school-aged children in San Mateo County were living in food insecure households,representing 18% of the school-aged children in the county.San Mateo County's law enforcement agencies responded to 2,345 domestic violencecalls in 2014. Survivors of violence face many obstacles to escaping abuse, includingisolation, shame, fear, distrust of the legal system, economic dependency, and lack ofknowledge about available services.Every day, Legal Aid fights poverty by bringing equal access to justice to those in ourcounty who need it most: people who are poor, at risk of homelessness, survivors ofdomestic violence, and those overcoming disabilities.

CHANLGIVINEGS by Preventing Homelessness \"Everyone deserves stable housing\"From a mobile home park in Pacifica to an apartment building in Redwood City,Legal Aid has fought for the rights of tenants and residents faced with eviction dueto the unprecedented skyrocketing of Bay Area real estate prices. Legal Aid wasat the side of Pacific Skies mobile home park tenants when the owners attemptedto employ vague and inconsistent rules to force them out; with our help, evictionswere stayed. We stood with the residents of Redwood City's 910 Clinton Street,successfully demanding accommodation from the landlord for an orderly transitionfor the tenants forced out by renovations.Says Legal Aid Directing Attorney Shirley Gibson:\"I am hopeful that people will see by these examples, that basic protections fortenants need to be implemented now. Everyone deserves stable housing.\"

CHANLGIVINEGS by Fighting for Freedom From Domestic Violence \"Legal Aid gave me the resources I needed\"Imagine enduring two decades of physical abuse. Living daily in fear for your life.Watching a violent man repeatedly threaten your child. And then imagine that, foryou, help from the legal system seems hopelessly out of reach.Legal Aid helped Carla obtain a pro bono attorney to represent her at a hearing fora renewal of a restraining order. When the judge rejected the extension, Legal Aid,along with partner legal services agencies, facilitated the work of pro bono attorneysas they took the case to appeal. Ultimately, the attorneys scored a precedent-settingvictory, and the order was extended for a term of five years.Carla tells us now:\"Legal Aid found me a pro bono attorney, and gave me the resources I needed.\"To protect client confidentiality, all names have been changed

CHANLGIVINEGS by Enabling Access to Healthcare 910 CLINTON \"Thanks to Legal Aid, I'm able to handle my son's care\"Mrs. Taylor came to Legal Aid with a huge medical bill from a local hospital for herson's emergency room visit almost four years previous. She was getting calls from acollection agency and could not afford to pay the bill. At the time of the emergencyroom visit, her son had coverage through restricted Medi-Cal and Healthy Kids, andshe thought her insurance had paid the bills. Legal Aid contacted the health planand discovered that the claim had, in fact, been paid in full at the time of the service.Legal Aid contacted the collection agency and provided proof that the claim hadbeen covered by Medi-Cal. The hospital agreed to recall the debt from the collectionagency and clear the account balance.With Legal Aid's help, Mrs. Taylor learned how to manage her son's future medicalbills and coverage herself.\"Thanks to the work of the lawyers at Legal Aid, I'm able to handle my son's care.\"

CHANLGIVINEGS by Improving Access to Income Support Programs\"Your diligence allowed my son to represent himself\"Paul, a young adult with a long history of schizophrenia, came to Legal Aid forhelp with an upcoming hearing to challenge an $80,000 overpayment of his SocialSecurity disability benefits, because his impairment made it difficult for him tocalculate numbers and to understand Social Security’s rules. Legal Aid reviewed thehearing file, and wrote a brief detailing the legal and factual bases to eliminate theentire overpayment, and carefully prepared both Paul and his case worker so that hecould represent himself at the hearing. He did so, and won the overpayment hearing.Paul’s mother told us:“Thank you for your excellent professional legal presentation. Your diligence ingiving the judge details of his symptoms, medical care and work history allowedmy son to represent himself.\"

CHANLGIVINEGS by Bridging the Education Gap \"My son won't fall further behind in school\" 910 CLINTONClaudia came to Legal Aid's Kids in Crisis (KIC) because her son was not receivingany educational services while recovering from surgery at home. By law, a childwho cannot be at school for medical reasons is entitled to receive, at minimum, onehour a day of home instruction. KIC immediately contacted the director of specialeducation in the child's district. The director called back and acknowledged theirmistake. The district agreed to start providing home instruction, and to give thechild compensatory time for the days that he had not received his home instruction.Claudia expressed her appreciation:\"I'm so relieved that, thanks to KIC and Legal Aid, my son won't fall further behindin school.\"

AND JUSTICE FOR ALL Annual Awards Luncheon April 25, 2015At the 18th edition of Legal Aid's And Justice For All Awards Luncheon, four worthy awardrecipients were cited for their commitment to justice for all the children, families, and seniorsin our community.In her speech accepting the George R. Corey-Linda M. Gemello Award, Legal Aid Staff AttorneyJenny Horne summed up her Legal Aid experience: \"I want to tell you about the clients I have known over the years: young people who have made a journey we cannot imagine to escape conditions we'd rather not even read about; some of the most extraordinary survivors I have ever encountered. Many have had none of the advantages that we have enjoyed. They have families who hurt rather than nurture; partners who terrorize rather than support; children who don't have a safe place to live. Many have never known security or safety, much less what we would call a normal childhood. They have been abused, neglected, victimized, and brutalized. With your support, they have learned English, graduated from high school,graduated from college, found jobs, helped others. Their success is the ultimate tribute to Legal Aidand to everyone who supports it.At the end of the day our legal system sets our country apart. The way we treat the vulnerable, thevictimized, and the disadvantaged speaks volumes about our society.Thank you for helping them.\"Dorothy M.

CHANLGIVINEGSThrough the commitment of our Pro Bono partners Navigating our legal system without the benefits of educational and financial resources can be nearly impossible. There are many layers of complexity and nuances, and the cost of private legal services is simply out of reach for those of little means. Legal Aid is proud to count so many Pro bono attorneys, paralegals and law students among those giving every day of their time, expertise, and passion to help ensure equal access to justice for our clients. In 2015, 424 Pro Bono attorneys and legal workers volunteered a total of 11,000+ hours to the clients of the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County. The market value of these donated services was 3.9 million dollars.Pro Bono Alyson O'Desky \"The time I’ve spent volunteering at Legal Aid’s Cooley LLP housing clinic has been tremendously rewarding. Each Tuesday I am able to use my background in commercial contracts and counseling in service of those who deal with one of the most basic necessities of life – I am able to help clients keep or find 'home.' Shirley Gibson, Legal Aid’s Directing Attorney, is an absolute guru; she’s been an incredible mentor and brings so much knowledge and heart to the clinic. I am very grateful to be part of this work.\"\"Being an advocate means more than filing motionsor making arguments at a hearing: it means takingthe time to listen and respond to the client, andestablishing a relationship built on mutual trustand support. And every step of the way, Legal Aidprovided me with the resources I needed to advocatefor my client.\" Pro Bono Lauren Tsuji DLA Piper
