The Legal Aid Society - Civil Practice

Located at 153-01 Jamaica Avenue in Queens, New York, The Legal Aid Society - Civil Practice is dedicated to ensuring that every New Yorker has access to equal justice. Our mission is to provide comprehensive legal representation to low-income individuals throughout the five boroughs, addressing a wide array of legal issues including housing, immigration, criminal trials, parole revocation, juvenile justice, and child protection cases.

We believe that justice should not be a privilege, but a right accessible to everyone. Our team works diligently to empower New Yorkers by partnering with local organizations, coalitions, and directly impacted communities. Through our free helplines, "know your rights" trainings, and educational materials, we equip individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to defend their rights against predatory employers and landlords, fight deportation, apply for government benefits, clear criminal records, and more.

Our commitment extends beyond individual cases. We engage in strategic litigation and law reform advocacy to bring about systemic change, championing new laws where current ones fail our clients. This crucial work is supported by New York's leading law firms through our pro bono partnerships, ensuring that we can continue to fight for justice and advance policy change.

At The Legal Aid Society - Civil Practice, we are driven by the experiences and needs of our clients, constantly striving to create a more just and equitable society for all New Yorkers.
