LegalMatch California helps people find private attorneys. Private attorney referrals are usually most applicable for low-income populations when there is no non-profit help available, or for cases where there might be funds recovered to pay an attorney (personal injury, a lawsuit against someone to recover funds for some kind of damage, SSI/SSDI, insurance cases, etc.).

Legal Services of Northern California (LSNC) provides free civil representation to low-income clients in 23 counties in Northern California, with eight regional office locations in Sacramento, Auburn, Chico, Eureka, Redding, Ukiah, Vallejo and Woodland. Legal areas include: housing, government benefits, health, immigration, consumer (mostly medical debt), criminal record clearing, and education. (Note: their immigration help is limited to assisting survivors of violent crimes and domestic violence with T/U visas, naturalization applications and VAWA claims.) They also have helpful self-help resources on their website here: https://lsnc.net/self-help.
