We serve the Riverside & San Bernardino Counties.
ICLS offers a wide variety of services at no cost to the client. However, some cases that we assist on could have outside costs that we are not able to cover, such as the filing costs and other related fees. Those responsibilities will fall on the client, but overall, we do not charge for legal assistance.
First, you will apply for services using our online application. This application will ask for basic information, parties involved, your demographics, financial information, and a description of the problem. Then, you will be contacted by one of our Intake practice group members to screen your answers and discuss your problem further. Once you are deemed eligible, you will be transferred to an attorney in a specific practice group relevant to your legal issue. You will be contacted by this attorney and they will provide you with the next steps to either resolve the legal issue or refer you to another resource.
Please note that ICLS does not guarantee you will receive services.
When you apply through the online application and describe your initial problem, please note if you have multiple legal issues that must be handled. The Intake group member will discuss all the problems you indicated and refer you to an attorney for the legal help with the most immediate need. Once that is resolved, you will be transferred to another attorney if you still have other legal issues to work out.
