Neighborhood Legal Services (NLS) provides high-quality civil legal assistance to individuals and families who cannot afford representation. Our work focuses on the legal issues that most directly affect safety and stability, including housing, family law, public benefits, and protection from abuse.

Every case represents a person or family at a pivotal moment—someone facing eviction, seeking protection for a child, or trying to maintain independence and security. NLS attorneys and advocates bring skill, compassion, and persistence to these matters, ensuring that clients are heard and that their rights are upheld.
