Planning for the future is an important part of protecting your well-being. 💙

Thank you to the Mental Health Association (MHA) for welcoming Legal Services of Northwest Jersey for a presentation on the importance of having life planning documents in place.

Documents such as a will, power of attorney, and advance directive can help ensure that your wishes are known and that the people you trust are prepared to help when needed. Having a plan in place can provide peace of mind and help protect your dignity and autonomy.

We also recognize the importance of understanding and having compassion for people who are experiencing mental health challenges. Mental health struggles are not always visible, and everyone’s experience is different. Be gracious and lead with compassion, you never know what challenges someone may be facing beneath the surface.

A special thank you to our wonderful volunteer, Kada, for assisting with the presentation. We are grateful to MHA for the warm welcome and for the opportunity to share information and resources with the community. 💙

A big thank you to the Parsippany Senior Center for welcoming Legal Services of Northwest Jersey for a presentation on Life Planning Documents in New Jersey!

Thank you for being such a warm and welcoming group. We had a great time and hope to see you again soon!

When renters have an attorney, the outcome can be dramatically different.

When renters received full-scope legal representation, eviction was prevented in 81.8% of cases.

The impact goes beyond keeping people housed. In 2023.

The findings are part of a new report from the Legal Services of New Jersey Poverty Research Institute, examining the economic impact of eviction defense.

At Legal Services of Northwest Jersey, we see every day how access to an attorney can help people protect their homes, their families, and their stability.

Legal representation matters.

What should you expect at your legal appointment?

Meeting with an attorney can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with a legal problem.

Our short primer can help you feel more prepared by explaining:

• What to expect during your appointment
• How to prepare and what to bring
• What questions your attorney may ask
• What may happen after your meeting
• What outcomes you can expect from your consultation

A little preparation can make your appointment easier—and help you make the most of your time with your attorney.

Watch our short primer to learn more. Follow our Youtube handle at or watch directly on: https://youtu.be/MdMgX0r0_8Q?si=eyIkmMR5va9dA_cR

**Language access is access to justice.**

At Legal Services of Northwest Jersey (LSNWJ), we’re committed to making sure language is never a barrier to accessing legal services. Our team is equipped to provide language support to help people understand their rights and access the assistance they need.

At Dover High School’s Back to School Night, we brought some of our very best to connect with the Dover community. Our Spanish-language Interpreter, Carolina, Legal Assistant, Gladys, and Team Leader, Yvonne, were there to meet with families and share information about LSNWJ’s services. Their presence was especially important because many families in Dover speak Spanish.

We’re proud to have a team that helps make access to justice more accessible to the communities we serve.
