Dozens of local restaurants, certainly all my favorites will be there serving their version of their most impressive chowder; clam, veg, corn, fish or otherwise.

We couldn’t have a better venue than Montecito Country Club who have been so accomodating and gracious for their support.

Our goal is to brand ‘Santa Barbara Clam Chowder’ – our chefs are amongst the best in the nation – move over New England and Manhattan Clam Chowders, here comes Santa Barbara’s very own version!

Our mission is to ensure equal and meaningful access to the civil justice system to Santa Barbara county residents living at or below the poverty level, those facing language or disability barriers, seniors and others living on fixed incomes such as Social Security, and victims of domestic violence and elder abuse. Our services range from the provision of legal information and advice to assistance with the preparation of legal documents and representation in court proceedings. Because of resource limitations, our practice is primarily directed at assisting persons in crisis. We have offices in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc.
