About Legal Aid Society of Nassau County

The Legal Aid Society of Nassau County is a nonprofit that provides free legal representation to people who cannot afford a lawyer, once a court finds them financially eligible for appointed counsel. It is a 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Hempstead, and its team combines attorneys with social workers, investigators, paralegals and administrative staff.

Its criminal work covers matters from arrest through final disposition, including arraignments and Nassau County's problem-solving and diversion parts such as Veterans Court. In Family Court it represents parents in neglect, termination, paternity, non-support and family offense cases, and it represents juveniles in delinquency and PINS proceedings. The Society also handles appeals in criminal and family court matters, including post-conviction proceedings, and advocates for changes to bail, discovery, and jury and family court rules. Its address on record is 40 Main Street in Hempstead, New York.
