Mission

Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV) is a non-profit law firm, originally incorporated in 1967. The mission of LSHV is to provide free, high quality counsel in civil matters for individuals and families who cannot afford to pay an attorney when their basic human needs are at stake. These include urgent legal needs such as: housing emergencies (eviction and foreclosure prevention), domestic violence (orders of protection, child custody, etc.), healthcare, disability and benefits, elder law, consumer fraud and more.


Vision

Our Vision is Justice for all!

Legal Services of the Hudson Valley has worked to ensure fairness in the justice system for those who can’t afford an attorney and are at risk of losing the basic necessities of life, including food, shelter and safety. LSHV is often the last hope for people who are facing crisis and in need of assistance, and our attorneys and staff are dedicated to protecting the rights of those seeking help.
