Legal Services in New Jersey embraces the vision of full access to essential civil legal aid for all economically disadvantaged people who cannot secure a lawyer on their own. This belief in the importance of legal assistance to indigent people stems from an underlying concern with fairness, and a conviction that important legal needs of individuals should be addressed.

LSNJ offices are located in Edison, NJ, close to all major highways and NJ Transit

ATTORNEY

We welcome applications from attorneys who would like to volunteer their time in our Edison office. Our current, greatest need is in the area of mortgage foreclosure and general consumer issues. Many of our existing consumer cases are related to damages sustained by survivors of Hurricane Sandy.

We have other pressing needs in the area of Family and Landlord- Tenant Law. Services include providing information and advice through our legal Hotline to full litigation including trial and Appellate Court.

LSNJ attorneys and volunteers provide a wide range of legal services in all areas of civil law. Click here for more information about LSNJ.
