Legal Aid Society Headquarters

199 Water Street New York, NY 10038

212-577-3300

The Manhattan Legal Aid Society is one of the organizations in New York City that offers free legal assistance to those with low incomes who are unable to fund private legal help. It functions as a legal aid organization, meaning to guarantee that everyone, no matter financial means, has equal right to justice, services including public benefits, immigration, family law, housing law, and criminal defense. 

The chance to work in criminal defense is especially important to me because this field can be critical and require dedicated advocacy to defend people’s rights. The organization is the right setting for me to develop as a legal practitioner, because of its years of experience in managing cases with serious implications and dedication to public service.

Law Office- where I want to work

I have many places that I could work, but if I have to choose now, I would choose Massey law firm https://www.massielawfirm.com/ in Portsmouth VA. Mr. Massie represented me in my child custody case many many years ago, and I told him that if I ever became an attorney or paralegal that I would work at his office; to which he agreed. The end goal is to be self-employed but if I wanna work anywhere, I would definitely work for Mike.. He is now a sitting judge in the GDC in Virginia.

Where would you like to work

I would like to work at Legal Aid Society located 111 Livingston st, Brooklyn, NY 11201. It has different branches in NYC but that one specifically because i’m from Brooklyn. Theres different ways i can assist the community through immigration, housing and civil but In the criminal defense department helping lower income people receive justice will be the most satisfying. To provide representation and to genuinely care about the case for people who can’t afford it can be so powerful. It shows everyone has a chance at receiving justice.

The goal after being in the legal field, specifically personal injury and labor law for the last 5 years, is to work for a prestigious firm like Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. They are a private firm that practices corporate law like mergers and acquisitions, capital markets transactions, international banking matters, project financings, private equity transactions, restructurings, privatizations, and international arbitration world wide.

They have offices nationwide but I’m particularly interested in their New York City location 395 9th Ave, , New York, New York, USA, 10001. Working for a prestigious firm that is recognized world wide is a dream. I’m continuously seeking a challenge that will help me evolve, consistently teach me and provide an opportunity to dabble in different divisions of Corporate Law.
