Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance. & Seniors Law Center

I'm in early stages of consultation with GBLA, however they have all been supportive, knowledgeable, & are providing me with excellent service. Thank you!

I didn't go in for there service but I definitely stand behind what they do al&& how they serve the community is a great way to show appreciation && really know that they care about individuals and the circumstances they are going threw. I unfortunately didn't have an opportunity to experience there service because what I needed help with they dont assist with.

Review for GBLA (Greater Bakersfield Legal Assistance): I’m very disappointed with my experience at GBLA. Every time I’ve called or asked for help, I’ve been dismissed or passed around. I’m a low-income tenant trying to follow the proper legal steps, but instead of receiving clear guidance or compassion, I’ve been told things like “we don’t handle that” with no direction on where to go next. GBLA’s website and mission say they help with housing and eviction cases, but in reality, it feels like no one wants to take the time to listen or connect me to real resources. When people are scared and trying to do things the right way, we need kindness and clear help — not to be made to feel like a burden. I truly hope GBLA will review how they communicate with clients in crisis. Even a small amount of understanding and follow-through could make a big difference for those of us trying to stay housed and follow the law.
