Welcome to Asian Law Alliance (ALA).

Since a group of law students from Santa Clara University founded the Asian Law Alliance to provide legal assistance to the Asian Pacific Islander communities over three decades ago, the Asian Law Alliance, a non-profit organization, has become the cornerstone legal services provider for the Asian/ Pacific Islander community within Santa Clara County.

We hope that you find our web site useful. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
