What services do we provide?

Northeast New Jersey Legal Services (NNJLS) is a private non-profit public interest law firm that provides free legal representation in civil (non-criminal) matters to low-income and underserved individuals and families. We also work to increase the public’s knowledge of their rights and responsibilities through community legal education.

What does building a Culture of Health mean to Northeast New Jersey Legal Services as an organization?

NNJLS works to ensure that clients do not lose their housing due to eviction or foreclosure; that they are not harassed by debt collectors or victimized by unfair business practices; that they and their families have fair custody and support arrangements in the event of separation or divorce; and that they can receive the public benefits and other forms of income support they need to maintain their independence and meet their daily needs.
