Horrible experience waited hours. There’s no way to report the staff for being unprofessional. I couldn’t provide proofs of my income and was refused to receive any help. (No income)

I had a very disgusting experience last year with one of the lawyers, her name is Lisette Rivera. I got to this office because I had a question about immigration, only a question. Well, after reviewing my income ; she told me that I did not qualify to get legal help because they only provide services to low income individuals so, that was understandable. The worst scenario was that she answered a call just in front of me and told that person on the phone that she was about "to get rid of me", yes "to get rid of me" because she thought I didn't speak English. As soon as she realized her mistake, she was trying to apologize and hanged up the phone. Right after she literally throw me out of her office, refusing to answer any question. I would never recommend to anyone to go to that office because they treat people like garbage just because they are providing a free service. I am sure she will read this, and I want to tell her that she is a disgusting human being and she needs to go back to college to learn how to treat people.

So far so good... After going through the initial processing phase and deemed eligible, I was assigned to Ms. Anna Navatta for my case. She was warm, engaging, patient and very professional. The work that was needed to resolve my case was done in a swift and timely manner.

I have another issue coming up and I'm praying, I'm assigned another capable individual (if not Ms Navatta), that would be just as professional in getting the job done.

Thank you: NNJLS

If I could give this place 0 stars, that would be my rating. It "CLAIMS" it's purpose as an organization is to provide legal help and services for low income individuals, and after establishing that my low income as an individual would qualify me, denied me help because I had a roommate.

I was harassed, threatened, and illegally and wrongfully evicted from my previous illegal apartment and forced to move in with my boyfriend after only a couple of months together because I literally had no other option besides being homeless. We each pay our half of the rent and utilities and that is it. Our finances are not intertwined in any way shape or form.

In fact, I didn't even know what his income was until this whole debacle. But during my application process phone call, I was told I was REQUIRED to find out this information that does not apply to me whatsoever and to call her back when I did. I was then forced to have a financial conversation about our specific individual incomes for no reason and called back in the timeframe she had given me. No answer - so I left a message that I had gotten the information she wanted and could call me back to finish the application processes when she was available again.

I did not get called back. I had to call the woman yet again on my own accord in order to try to pick up and continue the application process. When I called she immediately picked up, which means she was not on the phone with anyone at the time and could have just as easily called me back instead of completely ignoring my message.

When she finally input the income information for him I was denied help because "even though you qualify for legal services, adding your boyfriend puts you over the qualifying limit." I continuously asked why he was added, and why does the fact that he has a job mattered in any way since this whole case and my financial situation that would qualify me for low-income services did not involve him in even the slightest. I was told "it just is."

So regardless of the fact that I was told my financial situation qualifies me for legal help...because of the SOLE FACT that there was another person living under the same roof as me despite not even knowing each others income or financial situations, paying only half of the rent and utilities each, was denied help.

So my financial situation is still the same low that qualified me for help, but was essentially told that if I wanted legal help then I would need to get him to fund me, which he can't even do because he barely makes more than I do.

So thanks for absolutely nothing Paterson Legal Services. Thanks for telling me that I am indeed poor and acknowledging and admitting the fact that I don't have any other options to hire and pay for a lawyer on my own - which is the sole purpose of the organization, then going "oh well, it is what it is" and hanging up.
