WHAT WE DO

Help with Northern County Evictions, Family Court, and More

Northern legal services (NNLS) is a 501(c)3 non profit legal aid organisation founded in 1965. Since that time, we have assisted thousands of vulnerable northern Nevada residents who cannot afford to hire an attorney. Our team of attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants are dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to the legal system and that everyone is treated with respect and dignity.

Adult Guardianship

Supporting Protected Persons’ Rights

Adults under the protection and jurisdiction of a court-appointed guardian may encounter a wide array of legal problems. The attorneys at Northern Nevada Legal Aid are prepared to help. We work to ensure protected persons’ rights are respected, help with opposition to guardianship petitions, and outline guardianship alternatives that may be available.

Child Advocacy

Representing Children and Prospective Adoptive Parents

The Child Advocacy Program at Northern Nevada Legal Aid is designed to help with cases involving Child Protective Services, adoptions, and minor guardianships. Our team can represent children who have been removed from their parents’ custody or are under the jurisdiction of a court-appointed guardian, as well as adults seeking to adopt a child in the foster care system, in the Reno family court, and elsewhere.
