Brooklyn Legal Services

Brooklyn Legal Services (BLS) helps thousands of low-income Brooklynites access justice each year—services they could not otherwise afford. Our passionate and skilled team of over 150 lawyers, paralegals, social workers, and support staff help clients across a broad range of free civil legal services. Our work spans from day-to-day representation in court, to civil rights complaints in state and federal agencies, to multi-year litigation and advocacy that fosters strong, equitable, and affordable communities.

Brooklyn Legal Services is entrenched in Brooklyn’s diverse neighborhoods and communities and partners with community organizations, small businesses, tenant associations, elected officials and many others to fight for real and lasting economic, racial, and social justice for marginalized communities across the borough.
