About us | The Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law (The Center) was founded in the early 1980s by Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar and Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles. Since its inception, the Center has served as a cornerstone of family law and domestic violence assistance for low-income persons in California. Through its community outreach, legal education and referral efforts the Center impacts more than 5,000 individuals each year. The Center handles the most personal and important legal problems an individual can face; issues regarding personal safety, the well-being of children and a family’s economic security. We aspire to create a community where poverty is not a barrier to those who seek to resolve critical family law matters. |
