The mission of Northeast New Jersey Legal Services (NNJLS) is to ensure equal access to justice for low-income residents of Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey. We believe that no one should be denied the opportunity to have their day in court simply because they cannot afford a lawyer.
