Open Door Legal is an award-winning nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to providing universal access to legal help. They have pioneered the country's first system of equal access to legal representation, ensuring that everyone with a real need receives effective assistance in over 35 areas of law. Open Door Legal's impactful work has not only helped individuals like Claudia, who almost lost her home and children, but has also generated significant financial benefits for their clients and deterred bad conduct targeting marginalized communities. Founded by co-founders Adrian and Virginia, Open Door Legal started with a vision to address poverty in America through cost-effective legal aid. Despite initial financial challenges, they persevered and attracted the interest of funders, enabling them to expand their services and open new centers in the Excelsior and Western Addition neighborhoods. With a staff of 27 full-time employees, Open Door Legal aims to scale their universal access model city-wide, making San Francisco the first city in the country to achieve such comprehensive legal help and serve as a model for national replication.
