Legal Services in New Jersey embraces the vision of full access to essential civil legal aid for all economically disadvantaged people who cannot secure a lawyer on their own. This belief in the importance of legal assistance to indigent people stems from an underlying concern with fairness, and a conviction that important legal needs of individuals should be addressed.
The Department of Human Services consists of a wealth of services to support individuals in the community from all backgrounds, with various needs. We strive to provide one-stop human service shopping, a building in which all county residents find a wealth of resources working together to help them find their strength, resilience and direction into a brighter tomorrow. This department brings together community services providers to tackle the most critical issues with planning and monitoring.
