Northeast New Jersey Legal Services

Following something online application I was then told that they couldn't help me which is the usual run of things with them in addition to making you wait hours in the lobby to hear them say that they can help you

Worst service, rude, don’t help and if your case was closed they will not even tell you. Please shut down this service down and use our money towards a service that actually helps!!!

Don’t recommend it
After you meet all the requirements to get free attorney. They tell you the lawyer will talk to you and treater waiting 5. Weeks she said he can only advise but will not represent you in court. This place is funded by the state and they r not helping people in nj so it should be shut down !!!!

I applied for legal assistance and met all the requirements for a free attorney. However, North East Legal Services bluntly refused to help me, displaying clear bias and favoritism towards certain individuals. It seems they only assist those who 'wet their hands' and turn a blind eye to others in need. Disappointing and unprofessional behavior from a legal service supposed to provide equal assistance to all.

This is a place of public corruption and do not waste your time with their incompetent "lawyers" who will give you the runaround and then at the end do nothing for you and leave you hanging a few a days before trial. After dragging me along for months Caila O’Connor then had the audacity to deeply insult me in a very serious domestic violence case and say I was using the system. How unprofessional and distasteful...Needless to say I won my case without her, it probably was for the better she did not represent me. After reading tons of others comments and reviews, I'm skipping going to their board of directors about complaints and reporting directly to the bar association, IRS and The NJ Center for Non-Profits.

Awesome service I’m glad this is a government funded program for people in need of legal services. I went into the office in jersey city and filled out and application , explained my case , a lovely legal services representative named Kristen Oh was able to help me with my case even came to court with me with an hours notice , she won my case. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of landlord tenants issues

Scam! Don’t waste your time! We called before to make sure they would be able to help us out, they said yes and to come the next morning. We also made sure to ask if there would be any payment for advice or anything we had to do, they said no. So we Went, they made us wait for 1 hour just to tell us that they needed to know everybody’s income and file an application to get any sort of advice. Avoid at all costs!!
