Dedicated to helping low-income Long Islanders in crisis access justice.

Legal Services of Long Island (LSLI), formerly Nassau Suffolk Law Services, is a leading non-profit organization committed to providing free legal services to vulnerable individuals and families throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties. Since 1966, we’ve been dedicated to ensuring that Long Island’s most at-risk populations—such as low-income residents, disabled individuals, the elderly, domestic violence survivors, and veterans—receive the legal help they need, even when they cannot afford it. At LSLI, we specialize in various areas of law to protect the rights and dignity of Long Islanders:

Housing law: Fighting evictions, helping prevent homelessness, and advocating for those facing foreclosure. Disability advocacy: Assisting clients with disability rights claims, ensuring they receive the services and benefits they are entitled to. Family law: Supporting families in crises with legal issues including custody, child support, and orders of protection. Public benefits: Helping eligible individuals access crucial benefits like Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP.

We thank Tyra for her strength and bravery in sharing her story, and the Chief Judge for providing us with the opportunity to highlight the impact of our work and the importance of civil legal services.

Meet the Staff Monday!

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Heather Graham, Esq., an attorney at Legal Services of Long Island (LSLI)!

Since joining LSLI in January 2015, Heather has dedicated her career to helping clients facing the threat of losing their homes. Through her work with LSLI’s Foreclosure Prevention Project, she provides comprehensive legal representation, including document preparation, settlement conferences, discovery, drafting motions, and handling litigation in both state and federal courts.

Heather also brings extensive experience in elder law and a strong commitment to her local community. From supporting local food drives and helping families in need to advocating for homeowners facing foreclosure, she is passionate about ensuring Long Islanders have access to the legal assistance and resources they deserve.

💬 “I am truly grateful to work at LSLI for what has now been just over ten years in our foreclosure prevention unit. I sought this position very concerned over the effects of the Great Recession, from the housing crisis to the still widening income inequality, which occurred when I was an undergraduate. I am motivated each day to do this work because I believe that housing is a fundamental human right, and poverty is an artificial condition which can and must be overcome.”

We’re proud to have Heather on our team and grateful for her continued dedication to protecting the rights of Long Islanders and making a meaningful difference in our community!

Get to know Heather and the important work she does at LSLI!
