AM I ELIGIBLE?

How to Apply for Legal Services

With few exceptions, ENLS can only assist Essex County residents in civil matters and whose gross income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Assets limits also apply.

In addition, proof of citizenship or lawful immigration status must be provided; and the case or matter for which you seek assistance must be within program priorities.

​

We accept applications over the phone by calling 973-624-4500 and online at ENLS’ website at https://essexnewarklegalservices.org.
