Judy Balch had come to the Wilmington Health Center for a medical appointment when she told a social worker that she was worried about being evicted from her apartment. The social worker referred her to Melody Osuna, an attorney assigned to help patients with legal issues.
Osuna, who works for the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, helped Balch complete and submit the necessary documents to fight the eviction in court. “Had we not done this, she would have defaulted on her eviction case and lost her housing,” Osuna said.
