The Legal Aid Society is a private, not-for-profit legal advisory organization, the oldest and largest in the country, dedicated to providing quality legal representation to low-income New Yorkers since 1876. It is dedicated to a simple but powerful belief: no New Yorker should be denied access to justice because of poverty. QLS also works with clients and community partners to identify and address systemic inequalities faced by low-income communities in Queens and throughout New York City. We rely on our deep community partnerships to guide our work and enable us to quickly identify and resolve issues specific to Queens, one of the most diverse communities in the world.
