Exciting News: AJB’s New Office is Open!
Leave a CommentDear Neighbors,
In November 2024, we shared that Access Justice Brooklyn was relocating, and we are now delighted to announce that we have officially opened our doors to our new office located at 203 Jay Street, Suite 300, Brooklyn, NY 11201!
With staff settled in, and 203 Jay Street already feeling like home, we look forward to welcoming our community members, volunteers, partners, donors, and friends to a space designed with intention, representing our shared values: access, change, compassion, fairness, resilience, and respect.
As a reminder, our intake hours are Monday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. All intakes and requests for help on legal cases must be done by phone at (718) 624-3894 or via our online intake form. In-person meetings can be arranged by appointment only.
If you are an existing AJB client and would like to meet in-person with your assigned attorney, please reach out to them directly to make an appointment.
Our weekly legal court clinics also continue to operate as normal:
- If you are facing foreclosure, the Foreclosure Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) Program operates every Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:30-3:30 PM at Kings County Supreme Court. Click here for clinic details.
- If you are being sued for a debt in civil court, the Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office (CLARO) operates every Thursday from 2:00-4:30 PM and 5:00-7:00 PM at the Brooklyn Civil Court. Click here for clinic details.
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition period. We are truly excited to share our new office with you all! Please stay tuned for upcoming events, workshops, and community forums and check our website and social media to keep up with AJB’s programming and learn more about ways to help advance our critical mission.
Warm regards,
The Access Justice Brooklyn Team
“To be part of an organization committed to doing good, where I can utilize my law practice and leverage that experience in a way to help the community is an incredible gift that lured me to join Access Justice Brooklyn. The opportunity to use my elder law experience to directly empower and educate seniors about the importance of making legal decisions that will allow them to maintain control over critical aspects of their lives and to build awareness of their rights to help them age safely in place, is especially gratifying. 
“I am excited to join the Access Justice Brooklyn team because of their mission of achieving a more equitable Brooklyn. I believe that everyone deserves a fair chance at justice and AJB works to meet people where they are while linking them to the resources to empower themselves. I am excited to join the hardworking team at Access Justice Brooklyn so that I may connect Brooklynites to crucial resources needed to to effectively navigate the legal system. With experience as a social worker, I’m accustomed to approaching situations with compassion and empathy. I hope to use my experience to deliver effective and compassionate assistance to those across the borough.”
“Growing up as one of the only English speakers in my home, I viscerally experienced the inaccessibility of our legal and political systems early on. This quickly became the fuel for my pursuing a career in law and public advocacy, which is why applying to Access Justice Brooklyn was a no-brainer. The average client at Access Justice Brooklyn, like most low-income Americans, is typically overwhelmed and confused by the legal system from the moment they receive notice of a lawsuit. Organizations like Access Justice Brooklyn are some of the only lifelines available for bridging this profound gap in representation, especially with cases regarding foreclosures and consumer debt. I feel lucky to be able to contribute to a working model of direct service legal support that is committed to not only doing the work in the courts, but also working with communities directly through outreach and policy advocacy. As one of the first points of contact at the organization, I am most excited about the direct service nature of the work we do. In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve already seen the impact that just listening can have on someone who feels unseen by the larger legal and political systems.”
