THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY

The Legal Aid Society is more than a law firm for low-income New Yorkers. It is an indispensable component of the legal, social, and economic fabric of New York City - passionately advocating for individuals and families across a variety of civil, criminal defense, and juvenile rights matters, while also fighting for legal reform. Just like the city we represent, The Legal Aid Society is also one of the most diverse law firms in the nation... The Legal Aid Society is built on one simple but powerful belief: that no person should be denied their right to equal justice... The Legal Aid Society is calling on lawmakers to pass the Gender Identity Respect, Dignity, and Safety (GIRDS) Act.
