  Our daughter Meghan Camille Leftwich worked at Neighborhood Legal Services. She was so proud of being a paralegal at such an amazing organization. Over the several years she worked there on site and then from home, she was able to help hundreds of people. I witnessed many of her phone consultation sessions with people in desperate need of help and know first hand how important it is to have a free legal service like this one. Thank You to this highly qualified and kind staff. Her coworkers sent us a beautiful signed card on her birthday this year October 2, 2024. Each person wrote a short message about how much she contributed and how well she was liked by only the staff, but by the clients. Tragically our daughter passed away on December 2, 2022. But I was so inspired by her work and the work done by this organization that I created a video to honor her. I am happy to share it with you on FaceBook.

  This place is a joke! They do not vet their clients, truly do not steward the funds they receive. If you are thinks of donating to this establishment, you should really reconsider!

  An NLSLA paralegal contacted me to offer their legal services. My Unlawful Detainer case started off scary. But, my worry quickly changed when my NLSLA attorney realized that I didn't have an executed lease. Sounds great for me, right? Wrong! My entire case went terrible after my attorney set up a meeting with their case manager. He somehow prepared a relocation Grant for me without interviewing me and gathering my personal information first. Sounded strange to me too at the time. It's kinda a long story that's still ongoing. I learned that just because an attorney is offered for free. That doesn't mean you should hire them. Horrible experience!

  I was very disappointed with Neighborhood Legal Services. It was nearly impossible to reach anyone—no one ever answered the number listed on their website, and the only way I got a callback was through another organization. My attorney was polite, but every conversation went in circles for 30–60 minutes, and nothing was ever accomplished. In the end, I had to handle everything myself, only to be told they could no longer help me. Based on my experience, the service was ineffective and I felt I was treated unfairly.

  After waiting on hold patiently for more than 25 minutes today, 07/06/26, at approximately 3:30 PM, a female employee came on the phone line. She was very poorly trained. She fumbled through the questions that they're supposed to ask (to determine if you qualify for free legal advice). When I responded to her questions, she responded in a manner that showed her POOR understanding of the answers being provided to her, such as that I am currently approved for LTD through my employer, which she MISINTERPRETED as my getting a salary from my employer). When I asked for her first name a few times, she REFUSED to provide her first name. She was POORLY TRAINED and unqualified to take down simple answers to their set questions. I called after a major holiday weekend, so I probably did not receive the more competent care or service that perhaps others have received through this organization. I am VERY CONCERNED and surprised that someone THIS unknowledgable and incapable was assigned telephone duty with the NLS. She single-handedly gave a bad reputation to the NLS today afternoon. When I am already going through a stressful time, the incompetence of this NLS female employee (volunteer?) really HURT and came at the most inopportunte time. Would someone experienced from NLS please call me back? Thank you.
