Today, I will be a volunteer lawyer at Landlord/Tenant District Court as part of
the Volunteer Lawyers Project of Nassau County Bar Association.
"Attorneys
are encouraged to volunteer to provide free legal assistance to the poor in
Nassau County through the Volunteer Lawyers Project. NCBA partners with the
Nassau/Suffolk Law Services Committee to support VLP, which helps maximize the
quantity and quality of pro bono assistance provided for the county's low-income
community. Volunteer attorneys handle a wide array of cases including
matrimonial matters, individual bankruptcy, personal injury and negligence
defense, estate matters, release of accounts blocked by judgment creditors, and
various other civil matters.
• The Landlord/Tenant Project's Attorney of the
Day Program assists thousands of men, women and children in court to prevent
homelessness.
• The Bankruptcy Clinics assist families either with advice or
the filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, when appropriate.
• The Matrimonial
Project assists hundreds of individuals in obtaining divorces, child support and
custody."
