The Legal Project offers free legal help and representation to New Yorkers
We serve low-income New Yorkers who would otherwise have no access to legal representation, including elder citizens, crime victims, immigrants, domestic violence survivors and other vulnerable individuals and families.
The Legal Project has offices located at 204 Lafayette Street, Suite 2, in Schenectady, New York and at 1 Steuben Place in Albany, New York. Our offices and team can be contacted via phone at (518) 435-1770 and online at www.legalproject.org/contact/.
