California Indian Legal Services

Created by California Indian leaders and public interest attorneys, California Indian Legal Services (CILS) has been one of the preeminent advocates for the rights of Native Americans and Indian Tribes for over thirty years. CILS is the first Indian-controlled law firm organized to provide specialized legal representation to Indians and Indian tribes. CILS has five offices throughout California and provides free or low-cost representation to qualifying individuals, tribes and tribal organizations on those matters that fall within the priorities set by our Board of Trustees.
