  • Resumen

  • Our weekly radio show airs on Walk 97.5 FM and highlights the humanity of the people who make up our community. We have guests on the show to discuss the myriad complexities within the criminal justice system.

    Legal Aid is the primary provider of indigent defense in criminal and family courts in Suffolk County. Simply put, if someone is accused of a crime or a family offense, they are entitled to counsel, and the courts will assign counsel if they do not have the wherewithal to afford a lawyer. We also provide support services for our clients in need of addiction intervention, housing, or mental health referrals.
