The Legal Aid Society

Overview

The Legal Aid Society is a non-profit organization based in New York City, established in 1876. It is the oldest and largest provider of legal aid in the United States, dedicated to offering free legal assistance to New Yorkers living at or below the poverty level. The organization plays a crucial role in providing indigent criminal defense services, handling over 200,000 criminal cases each year, and representing more than 30,000 children and families in civil matters.

Services include criminal defense at trial and appellate levels, civil legal representation for vulnerable populations, and advocacy for families and community groups. Clients include criminal defendants, children in family court, welfare recipients, homeless families, and elderly individuals. The organization is primarily funded through contracts with New York City and is part of a network of indigent defense providers, ensuring access to justice for those who cannot afford legal representation.
