The Watsonville Law Center (WLC) provides free legal services to low-income individuals on California's Central Coast. We believe that everyone benefits when the most vulnerable among us thrive, and that a holistic collaborative approach is most effective. We focus on legal problems with long-term impacts and solutions, such as workers' rights, consumer rights, and barriers to employment. Through our legal clinics, we provide advice, referral, and limited scope representation.
