Our nation’s civil laws will be most effective when every American has the same chance at justice in civil court. Right now, organizations like NLS are the only path to just for most underserved plaintiffs.

It’s a fact: People who can afford however to hire a private attorney are statistically more likely to win or settle cases in their favor.

This income-based inequality is called the “justice gap.” While NLS can’t eliminate it, we can help families and individuals with lower incomes get qualified legal representatives who are dedicated to their success.

NLS offers our low-income neighbors in Allegheny, Beaver, Butler and Lawrence Counties, Pennsylvania, a much better chance of keeping their homes, securing their veteran’s benefits, protecting themselves and their children, and more by giving them access to the same or better legal advice than those they oppose.

Our services are made possible through the support of generous donors and dedicated attorneys. We thank you all.
