NLA handles a broad range of legal problems for low-income and elderly individuals.
Applicants for service may apply online or call 978-458-1465. An intake worker will gather information about your address, income and legal problem. You will be given an appointment if NLS is able to assist you. NLS also offers outreach on a regular basis throughout our service area if you are unable to come to the office.
