Northeast New Jersey Legal Services

Northeast New Jersey Legal Services (NNJLS) provides comprehensive legal representation and other legal services to low-income residents of Bergen, Hudson and Passaic counties. This Hackensack, New Jersey based organization specializes in legal cases that typically affect the impoverished, disabled and senior community. These cases generally handle issues with housing, family law, public benefits, and consumer matters. In addition to legal representation assistance, Northeast New Jersey Legal Services offers in-house legal clinics to provide guidance and information to residents planning to represent themselves in civil legal matters. Legal clinic topics primarily cover expungements, bankruptcy, divorce, and naturalization. The NNJLS special projects help with very specific legal matters, such as the Employment Opportunity Project, which provides counsel and other services to clients seeking expungements of criminal records and removal of other barriers to employment.
