| WHO WE ARE |
The Legal Aid Society is a private, not-for-profit legal services organization, the oldest and largest in the nation, dedicated since 1876 to providing quality legal representation to low-income New Yorkers. It is dedicated to one simple but powerful belief: that no New Yorker should be denied access to justice because of poverty.
This office represents tenants who live in Manhattan and are being sued in Housing Court or in a New York City Housing Authority termination proceeding.
