Worst people ever! Tgey won't help you it's all a lie! They get paid yo make sure you loose! My attorney came to my house and went upstairs to the owners house my legal aid attorney went to the plaintiffs house! He did nothing go help me all he did was lie and lie to the judge! There is no real help. They will lie to you. They won't help its all a lie.

I was referred to The Legal aid Society by NYS Bar Assoc. and spoke with Cynthia Otero, a Legal Case Handler. I was asking about how (what is the process) to submit an Affidavit to court case I was not a party to and was surprised that an angry Otero would tell me that it was a "conflict of interest" for her to provide me with the information! Since the affidavit had to do with a case that a legal aid lawyer (at another office) was assigned to she could not bring it upon herself to do her job. It was not a conflict of interest since she is not a lawyer!!! Total waste of time, unprofessional and ill informed.
