Meet Our Legal Aid Team
Our staff is dedicated to helping legal clients through difficult situations and ensuring that all people can obtain legal services regardless of their ability to pay. Northern Nevada Legal Aid provides preeminent legal services in various practice areas in Washoe, Lyon, Humboldt, Pershing, Carson City, Storey, and Douglas counties.
“Many of our clients come into our office already stressed about the situations they are dealing with and feel helpless and discouraged. It is very rewarding to be able to help them alleviate some of that stress by providing the services they need to protect their legal rights, without them worrying about the cost,”
– Melissa Jimenez, Sr. Intake Specialist
