About Brooklyn Legal Services

Brooklyn Legal Services is the Brooklyn office of Legal Services NYC, a civil legal services provider that offers free help to low-income Brooklyn residents. The official site says a staff of more than 150 lawyers, paralegals, social workers and support staff handles work that ranges from day-to-day court representation to civil rights complaints before state and federal agencies, along with multi-year litigation and advocacy. Stated focus areas include preserving affordable and decent housing, maintaining income support, addressing abusive lending and consumer practices, promoting family stability, mitigating domestic violence, and advocating for people with disabilities.

The office reports helping thousands of low-income Brooklyn residents each year with housing, foreclosure, family, employment, health, immigration and education matters. It works alongside community organizations, tenant associations and elected officials in Brooklyn's neighborhoods. Locations listed on the official site include a Court Street office in downtown Brooklyn, a second Court Street suite, a Tenant Rights Coalition site in East New York/Brownsville, a Brighton Beach office and an Albany Avenue office, all in Brooklyn.
