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.
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.
