New York Legal Assistance Group
The New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) is a nonprofit organization that offers vulnerable New Yorkers the legal help they critically need. NYLAG’s mission is to provide free, civil legal services to poor and near poor individuals and families residing in the five boroughs of New York City who would otherwise be unable to access legal assistance. Since 1990, NYLAG has been dedicated to providing legal services to underserved, impoverished populations through direct representation, impact and class action litigation, consultation and community education. As a city-wide multi-legal services agency, NYLAG has the capacity to fill a vital gap in legal assistance to a wide range of low income populations including victims of domestic violence, immigrants, the elderly, the chronically ill, children with special needs, Holocaust survivors, and many other less fortunate members of society.
It was founded in 1990, and as of 2006 has a paid legal staff 49 and over 500 volunteers.
