ABOUT FCLPA
Welcome and thank you for your interest in Fresno County Legal Professionals Association (“FCLPA”). FCLPA is a non-profit mutual benefit organization which recognizes that each member of the legal profession provides a valuable service. Membership is available to everyone involved in the Fresno County legal community. This includes, but is not limited to, law office managers, legal secretaries, paralegals, attorneys, legal support staff, persons employed in the courts, and legal support vendors. Becoming part of FCLPA automatically grants you membership in our parent organization, Legal Professionals, Incorporated (“LPI”). LPI is comprised of 30+ local associations located throughout California. While some local associations are “Legal Secretaries Association” (LSA) and others are “Legal Professionals Association” (LPA), all are affiliates of LPI.
Please view our membership page to learn about the many benefits we have to offer. We encourage you to attend one of our monthly meetings and get to know our members – find out what FCLPA is all about!
What Our members have to say
Fresno County Legal Professionals Association (“FCLPA”) is a great place for members of the local bar to keep in touch with the law, keep appraised as of latest trends in the industry, and obtain California State Bar approved MCLE and LSI California Certified Legal Secretary credits. More importantly, however, FCLPA membership provides wonderful networking opportunities for local attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries, and others who work in the legal profession in Fresno County. Monthly educational meetings are low key, friendly, and usually quite entertaining. If you are not already a member of FCLPA, I would strongly urge you to join this growing organization right away and to actively participate in the monthly meetings. Rest assured, you will not regret this decision.
