  • Supervising Attorney, Elder Law Assistance Program

Do you want to use your legal career empowering some of the most vulnerable members of our society and ensuring that they have excellent legal representation? Do you believe that veterans who have served their country should not have to face homelessness without a legal representative by their side ready to fight for the rights they have earned? Since 1995, The Legal Project has been at the forefront of providing essential legal services to those who need them most, including victims of domestic violence and the underserved. From preventing foreclosures to representing victims of human trafficking, our mission is to safeguard the rights and improve the lives of our clients. Our attorneys help build communities and neighborhoods, providing legal assistance and advice to vulnerable New Yorkers.

  • This isn’t just any attorney role, this is a chance to be a vital advocate and educator in an environment where expanding your legal skills and expertise is encouraged. You will be integral to the success of a
  • brand-new program
  • funded by an LSV-H Grant from the VA, focusing on helping qualified veterans who are
  • homeless or at risk of homelessness

    • This is more than a legal job; it’s a chance to build a vital service from the ground up, providing both direct representation and essential community education.

  • Provide Direct Legal Services :
  • Provide expert legal advice and full representation to veterans in critical areas like
  • housing disputes
  • (eviction defense),
  • income maintenance
  • (VA benefits, child support),
  • family law
  • (custody, divorce), and
  • military justice solutions
  • (discharge upgrades, record corrections).
  • Educate the Community :
  • Work closely with the program coordinator and leadership staff to develop and establish this new, high-impact program. You'll conduct "Know Your Rights" trainings for veterans and partner organizations to educate the community on legal issues that block stable housing.
  • Strategize and Innovate :
  • Work with The Legal Project and community attorneys to expand free civil legal services for veterans and identify other legal needs for future program development.
  • Licensed to practice in New York State or able to waive in with a background in veterans law, family law, housing law, or public benefits preferred.
  • A lawyer who understands the advantages given to highly financed litigants within our civil justice system and who wants to ensure that everyone is represented even if they can’t pay for their attorney.
  • A person who believes in community, neighborhoods, and the fundamental right of safety and stability for vulnerable members of our society
  • Someone who enjoys learning new areas of law and expanding their own areas of practice
  • A person with a driver’s license and reliable access to a vehicle to attend court appearances and outreach events as necessary
