The National Coalition of Free Men, Los Angeles (NCFM-LA) is a local chapter of a nationwide, non-profit men’s organization founded in 1976.  We function mainly as a watchdog and public advocacy organization rather than a social service organization.  We cannot provide legal services on individual family law cases.  For those seeking low-cost family law services we maintain the following list of sources.  For those who seek a family law attorney who charges ordinary legal rates, we may be able to provide a few sources if you contact us at ncfm.la@verizon.net and (very briefly) give your situation. 

Because we try to keep this list up-to-date, your feedback on and experience with these or other sources is welcomed and encourages.  Also, we operate solely on donations and volunteer work, so we invite you to join us and/or to send a donation of any amount. 

Thank you.
