Our Vision
We envision a Los Angeles where everyone has access to the legal support they need, fostering a community built on equality, fairness, and opportunity for all.
Our Services
Domestic Violence
We provide legal help and protection for survivors of domestic violence, including restraining orders, custody support, and safety planning. Our goal is to help you rebuild with dignity, strength, and security.
Immigration
Whether you're applying for asylum, DACA, or permanent residency, we guide immigrants through complex legal systems with care and respect because everyone deserves a safe path forward.
Housing
Facing eviction or unsafe living conditions? No one should lose their home without a fight. We protect renters from unlawful evictions, unsafe conditions, and housing discrimination so families in LA can stay safe & housed.
Veterans
We stand with those who served. From accessing benefits to resolving housing and legal issues, we offer veterans the support they need to navigate civilian life with the respect they’ve earned.
Client Stories
Veterans Project Client
“My experience with the Veterans Project was a lifeline. At the time of need I was given another avenue. The organization’s work is monumental, as it allows for veterans to reach out against the society that is stacked against them.”
Immigration Project Client
“I have a new hope, for so long I lived in fear of being deported. Now, I don’t have to be afraid. I finally feel safe.”
Domestic Violence Project Litigant
“I felt supported enough to open up about my case. Even though I wanted a restraining order, I probably would not have been able to complete the process without DVP’s assistance.”
