Two hundred and fifty years ago, our nation was founded on the principle that everyone should have the chance to build a life of dignity and opportunity. In his 1989 farewell address, President Reagan spoke about this idea, saying America is the one place where anyone, from anywhere, can simply become an American.
At the Legal Aid Society of Mid-New York, we see this promise tested every day in housing court, disability hearings, and family law cases across our 13 counties. By making sure working to ensure access to justice, we help turn that promise into reality. This has been our work for more than 74 years.
As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, we are proud to continue supporting the families who are striving to write their own American story.
Holiday hours: Our Watertown, Oswego, and Syracuse offices are closed on July 2. Utica, Oneonta, and Binghamton are open until 3 PM on July 2. All offices are closed on July 3. We return to normal hours at 9 AM on July 6.
Happy Independence Day from all of us at LASMNY.
