About Us
GBLA is a non-profit corporation whose mission is "to promote social change and
justice by providing high-quality legal services to the low-income community."
GBLA is not organized for the private gain of any person. It is organized under the
Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law for charitable purposes.
GBLA provides free, civil, legal services to low-income and elderly persons residing
in Kern County California.
Established in 1968, GBLA’s founding philosophies are deeply rooted with
antipoverty programs. We represent those who are unable or too afraid to speak for
themselves, either because of racial, economic, social, or legal barriers and
consequently have become mere statistics in social and economic research data.
