Every claim we take is paid for by someone else
We don’t charge the people we help, and we don’t take a share of their back pay. Grants from foundations and the state bar’s public-interest fund pay most of our costs. Gifts from people in the valley pay the rest, and they’re what let us say yes to the claims that pay least.
Medical records for a claim: often $50 to $150
An expert’s written opinion: more
A year of a staff lawyer: most of it
