No. The City Attorney is legally prohibited from representing individuals in private legal matters. Attorneys in the office are only authorized to represent City officials, departments, agencies and employees in the course of their official acts or business. For general questions or seeking legal representation you can call the Los Angeles County Legal Aid Society (Long Beach Branch) at (800) 399-4529 or the Long Beach Bar Association Referral Service at (562) 988-6444.
