Description

We provide accessible, quality, equitable, free legal services in the areas of domestic violence, housing, and immigration to give low-income, at-risk community members access to justice and the opportunity to live productive and secure lives.  There is no income requirement for domestic violence clients.

Service Area - Courthouses

At NSLAC, we understand that navigating the legal system can be overwhelming. That's why we have strategically established our services in specific courthouses. Our goal is to ensure convenient access for our clients within a defined geographic area.

While our primary focus remains on serving clients with cases in specific courthouses, we recognize that exceptional circumstances may arise. In certain situations, we may be able to make exceptions, depending on the nature and urgency of the case and the capacity of NSLAC. Our commitment to providing access to justice and fairness drives us to explore all possible avenues to assist those in need.
