After the intake was done she advised I needed to sign these documents for legal assistance. To date I have not received any assistance at all from The Legal Project.

They also do not answer calls or any other form of communication after the intake.

We do this by advising, advocating for and representing people who have traditionally had difficulty obtaining civil legal assistance. Our Values: The Legal Project believes: 1) All people should have access to legal services. We feel a special commitment to people who have traditionally had difficulty in obtaining legal assistance, including the working poor, women, immigrants and the LGBTQ community. 2) Fostering collaborative relationships within the community is essential to serving the whole person, inspiring the legal profession’s commitment to pro bono, and raising awareness about the importance of civil legal services in protecting people’s basic rights. 3) Our communities are stronger and more economically vital when people are safe, stable and independent.

Update: I wrote my…read moreearlier review, just a few days ago, as I wanted my original two experiences documented. This morning, my wife and I had a meeting scheduled with Danielle Becker, on of the firm's attorneys. Our purpose was to review our trusts and all of our documents to ensure that they still met our needs and to determine if any changes were necessitated by moving our domicile form NY to NJ and/or by our wintering in FL. We arrived 10 minutes early and were welcomed in to Ms. Becker's office promptly at the appointed time. Ms. Becker was interested, caring and most professional. After all of our questions were answered, Ms. Becker reviewed our situation and the relevant documentation. She then determined that everything was in order and that no changes were necessary. She did advise that "IF" we wanted to update things (address changes, names of grandkids, etc.) we were free to do so and she advised us of the costs involved in making these changes. However, and she stressed this, none of these changes were absolutely needed as the wording of our current documents covered all of these changes. So, once again, we had a meeting with The Ettinger Law Firm and were not pressured, in any way, to create an income stream for the firm. Yes, this meeting was entirely without cost or obligation. Kudos to the firm and to Ms. Becker.
