About Nassau Suffolk Law Services

Nassau Suffolk Law Services Established in 1966, Nassau/Suffolk Law Services was among the first Legal Services Corporation programs in the state and is currently one of the largest providers of free civil legal assistance in New York. The program is committed to helping people in need vindicate their rights under the law. We provide free legal services in thousands of cases each year as well as legal support to church, agency and grass roots organizations that work with the poor. NSLS is dedicated to providing equal access to basic human rights and services through provision of high quality legal representation, public information and community advocacy training to ensure that low income, disabled and disadvantaged individuals have equal access to the civil justice system on Long Island. The staff is comprised of attorneys, paralegals, social workers and support staff. The social work component is a unique feature of the program and is based on the recognition that some of our clients may need special support and services to manage and deal effectively with the legal system.

Founded in 1966 by Jack Weinstein.
