Acknowledgements

The VALOR Guide was originally conceived by Adam Siegler, a Veteran of the Iraq war, as a means todevelop a comprehensive database of legal service providers, improve access by Veterans andcoordination among providers, and systematize the delivery of legal services to all Veterans. The name“VALOR Guide” was developed by Jack McBride.

In 2010, the Founding Editorial Board created the Los Angeles edition of the VALOR Guide. In 2012, theEditorial Board expanded the VALOR Guide into a series of six volumes, to include all of California.

The VALOR Guide project is unique, in that the law students on the Editorial Board have directresponsibility for the development of the project and the production of the VALOR Guides. These lawstudents deserve special thanks and recognition for their efforts to help Veterans.

The VALOR Guide reflects the joint efforts of the law firm of Greenberg Traurig and Loyola Law School,along with the generous support and effort of many other firms, agencies and individuals. All of thelegal service providers who are listed in the Guide deserve thanks and acknowledgment for the workthat they do and for their support for this project.

Introduction


IntroductionThe VALOR Guide gathers together in a single reference all known providers of free legal services for

Veterans in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, in order to provide Veterans with the legal services

which they need and have earned through their military service to this country.

There are numerous organizations which provide medical and social services for Veterans, and there are

other guides for these organizations and services, but there is no comprehensive system to provide free

legal services to Veterans. The VALOR Guide addresses that need by bringing together a network of law

firms, clinics and other providers who are dedicated to providing free legal services for Veterans. Not

every legal clinic or military legal assistance office can handle every type of legal problem, but by

working together, they can provide the right service in the right location.

Getting Into the VALOR GuideIf you would like to include your organization in the VALOR Guide or would like to submit a comment,

please send an email to [email protected].

How to Use This Guide




How to Use This GuideThe VALOR Guide is designed to make finding the right legal provider quick and easy. Legal providers

are listed in the Guide by practice area, by location, and alphabetically.

If you know the particular type of legal advice you require, you can use the “Index of LegalProviders by Practice Area” to find a legal provider with expertise in handling your particularproblem.

If you would prefer to find all the legal providers in a particular location, you can use the Guide’s“Index of Legal Providers by Location”, which arranges legal providers conveniently according totheir location within San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

If you know the name of the provider and want more information about that provider, theGuide's “Alphabetical Index of Legal Providers” contains an alphabetical list of legal serviceproviders within San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, including important details regardingtheir hours of operation, types of services provided, and any applicable restrictions orlimitations on those services.

Once you have found a legal services provider, either by practice area or by location, you should always

refer to the alphabetical index, because many of the providers listed in this Guide have limited hours of

operation or other significant limitations on the services they offer.

There are a number of free or low cost services available to Veterans within San Bernardino and

Riverside Counties. The VALOR Guide focuses specifically on legal services.

For information regarding non-legal services, Veterans should consult other reference materials,including CalVet’s Veteran Resource Guide and the Prisoner Reentry Guide (for Veteran specificbenefits) or the Rainbow Resource Directory (for a broad listing of social services).

EXPUNGING

102

WHAT IS AN EXPUNGEMENT IN CALIFORNIA?

One method for cleaning up your criminal record is byobtaining an expungement. Through the expungementprocess a criminal case is reopened and a convictionfrom a “guilty plea”, a “no contest plea” or a finding ofguilt by a judge or jury is SET ASIDE and the case isDISMISSED.

While you are no longer a convicted person, theexpungement does NOT seal or destroy your criminalrecord in the state of California.

The arrest, prosecution and conviction record STILLEXIST. However, it becomes noted in the court files,California Department of Justice and FBI files that aplea of not guilty was entered and the case wasdismissed.

WHY ARE EXPUNGEMENTS IMPORTANT?

A criminal record has a number of drawbacks. It canprevent you from getting certain kinds of employment,obtaining credit, renting an apartment, obtaining certainlicenses, running for political office and other benefits insociety. Expunging your criminal record dismisses andsets aside your felony and/or misdemeanor convictionfrom the public record and prevents employers fromusing this information to make decisions affecting youremployment.

A Certificate of Rehabilitation is a court order declaring an individual"rehabilitated", however, a certificate does not completely protect youform being denied a job or license because of your criminal record. ACertificate of Rehabilitation does not erase the record of yourconviction. You still must list your convictions on job applications, ifasked.

Although, an employermust take your certificate into account in deciding whether to ire you,an employer or licensing agency is still allowed o refuse to hire orlicense you. For the positions discussed above, a certificate willremove the statutory bars to mo t of the jobs.

However, both a certificate and pardon are required for bothtemporary and permanent teaching credentials. Neither a certificatenor a pardon will remove statutory bars to law enforcement jobs,notary public positions, and public offices.

You may apply for a Certificate Rehabilitation if you fall into one of thefollowing two categories:

1. You have been convicted of a felony.2. You were convicted of a misdemeanor sex offense under

section 290 of the California Penal Code.
