Pro Bono Net News
Pro Bono Net is proud to announce the launch of a new website connecting crime victims with information and free civil legal assistance being piloted in three Western New York counties, allowing victims to learn about their rights and connect with resources or legal representation. Funded by the New York State Office of Victim Services, New York Crime Victims Legal Help will initially serve Erie, Genesee, and Niagra counties and will expand to serve crime victims Upstate and on Long Island by the end of 2019. Learn more in the press release.
The Need For Pro Bono
The need for legal services among the poor is overwhelming. According to an American Bar Association study, at least 40% of low and moderate-income households experience a legal problem each year. Yet studies show that the collective civil legal aid effort is meeting only about 20% of the legal needs of low-income people.
