Please read below for more information about the types of cases we support.

Her Justice is not a walk-in service, and most clients are referred to us by community partners.

While we make every effort to match potential clients with a lawyer, we are not able to assist everyone who seeks Her Justice’s services. If we cannot match you with a lawyer, we want to point you in the right direction. “Additional Resources” at the bottom of this page provides step-by-step guides and lists of free legal and social service organizations who may be able to help.

Her Justice does not provide emergency legal assistance. If you have a time-sensitive legal need, please call 311 or go to lawhelpny.org for a list of legal service providers who may be able to help. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911.
