About the company
Public Counsel is a tax-exempt non-profit legal services organization based in Los Angeles, California, registered with SAM.gov since December 2008. The organization provides comprehensive civil and criminal legal assistance to vulnerable populations, with a primary focus on victims of violence and crime. Through its federal awards, Public Counsel delivers direct legal services addressing family law, immigration, housing, employment, and criminal justice matters across multiple California counties.
Public Counsel has participated in federal contracting activities as a subcontractor rather than as a prime contractor. Specifically, in April 2024, Public Counsel received a subcontract award from Acacia Center For Justice to provide legal services for the Unaccompanied Children's Program. This subcontract work demonstrates the organization's capacity to serve vulnerable populations requiring specialized legal representation and support outside of its primary grant-funded activities.
Public Counsel has established itself as a significant recipient of federal grant funding, particularly through the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. The organization currently holds a $500,000 Project Grant awarded on October 1, 2025, under the Legal Assistance for Victims program (CFDA 16.524), which continues through September 30, 2027. This continuation award supports the delivery of civil and criminal legal assistance to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking across six California counties—Los Angeles, Kern, Orange, Riverside, Ventura, and San Bernardino—in partnership with Jenesse Center. This current award represents a continuation of a prior grant (15JOVW-21-GG-00403-LEGA) that ran from October 2021 through September 2024 and provided similar services in the Sanford, California area. Additionally, Public Counsel has received multiple subgrant awards from the State of California's Office of Emergency Services in 2021 and 2022, totaling at least five subgrants that provided funding for direct civil and criminal legal services to victims of crime, further expanding the organization's capacity to serve crime victims across the state.
