Northeast New Jersey Legal Services
Northeast New Jersey Legal Services’s (NNJLS) mission is to ensure equal access to justice for residents of Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties, NJ experiencing poverty. No one should be denied a meaningful opportunity to have their day in court simply because they cannot afford a lawyer. NNJLS is a private non-profit public interest law firm that provides free legal representation in civil (non-criminal) matters to underserved individuals and families experiencing poverty. We also work to increase the public’s knowledge of their rights and responsibilities through community legal education. NNJLS focuses on four core areas of civil law – housing, consumer, family, and public benefits. NNJLS also has specialized programs in place to address the civil legal needs of veterans, seniors, students, survivors of domestic violence, survivors of sexual assault, recent immigrants, persons living with HIV or AIDS, formerly incarcerated, the homeless, and residents experiencing poverty who have federal income tax issues with the IRS.
