About Nolo Press Occidental
Since 1971, the leading publisher of self-help law books.
Nolo Press was started by two Legal Aid lawyers who were fed up with the fact that the average person couldn’t find affordable legal information and advice. Convinced that Americans should have direct access to their own legal system, and certain that the average American can handle routine legal problems without hiring an attorney, they began writing plain-English law books for non-lawyers.
Today, they operate two separate and independent Nolo Press companies: our own Nolo Press Occidental, located in Santa Cruz, and Nolo Press in Berkeley. Together, the two Nolos publish more than 140 books, software, legal forms, audio and video tapes. We are proud that Nolo products have helped more people take care of their legal matters than any lawyer or law firm in history.
Nolo Press Occidental is responsible for the products featured on this website. A larger list of Nolo Press self-help law products can be found at www.nolo.com.
