Every day in Brooklyn, people with low incomes—especially in marginalized communities—face legal challenges alone. While the borough has a strong network of legal and social service organizations, there is a persistent gap between legal resources available and need for support.

Access Justice Brooklyn partners with compassionate pro bono attorneys to provide high-quality, civil legal services that help ensure equal access to the legal system. Founded in 1990 as the Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project, Access Justice Brooklyn is an independent 501(c)(3) organization that continues offering free legal advice and representation to people who cannot afford it. Through direct services, education, and outreach, the organization supports individuals in the borough while simultaneously dismantling systemic barriers to justice.
