The Legal Project provides a variety of free and low cost legal services to the working poor, victims of domestic violence and other under-served individuals in the Capital District of New York State.
The Legal Project provides free and low cost civil legal information and services to low to moderate income people in the Capital Region of NYS who can't afford an attorney in legal areas such as domestic violence, bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce, wills and immigration. We also assist college students who are survivors of sexual assault, dating violence or stalking. We have over 240 volunteer attorneys who provide pro bono services as well as experienced staff attorneys.
The mission of The Legal Project is to make the law more accessible to those in need, to increase the legal community's involvement in pro bono work; and to serve as a resource on legal issues. We feel a special commitment to women and others who may have difficulty in obtaining legal assistance.
