Thousands of New Jerseyans suffer needlessly from solvable legal problems. Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) is a nonprofit legal services organizations providing free civil legal help to New Jerseyans experiencing poverty.

“Helping others is one of the reasons I became a lawyer and why I continue to offer pro bono services to VLJ year after year. Bankruptcy is so valuable for some members of our community, because it provides them with a fresh opportunity to build a happy and successful life.”
— VLJ volunteer attorney, Bankruptcy Program
“There are so many people out there who also aren’t being heard and VLJ lawyers can give them a voice, like mine gave me.”
— VLJ client, Children's Representation Program
“I have had the privilege of a professional career. It is easy for us in our professional positions to ignore the struggles in the rest of the world and presume we got here through individual effort alone. VLJ aims to tilt the scale.”
— Naomi Grobstein, Donor
