Free Legal Tools & Guides
Educational resources from our office: free to use, no sign-up required.
These resources provide general legal information, not legal advice. Using them alone does not create an attorney-client relationship. Every case is different; for advice about your situation, speak with an attorney.
New York Child Support Gross-Income Illustration
Who it helps: Parents facing separation, divorce, or a child support case in New York.
What you get: A guided illustration that applies New York child support percentages to the gross-income figures you enter, explains important statutory limits, and produces a printable summary. It does not determine statutory CSSA income, apply the low-income adjustment, or predict a court result.
NYC Arrest and First Court Appearance Guide
Who it helps: Anyone whose family member or friend was just arrested in NYC, or who is facing charges themselves.
What you get: A step-by-step, plain-English walkthrough of the process from arrest through arraignment, plus a private on-page checklist for organizing a first conversation. Check marks are not saved, sent, or added to the contact form.
DWI or DWAI in New York City: Start Here
Who it helps: People organizing a first conversation after a New York City alcohol- or drug-driving arrest.
What you get: A focused guide to charge labels, the separate license and refusal track, and a private on-page file builder. Check marks are not saved, sent, measured, or added to the contact form.
Order of Protection in New York City: Start Here
Who it helps: People who received, requested, or need to understand the next step around an order of protection in New York City.
What you get: A two-track guide to identifying the court and organizing the exact papers already in your possession. Check marks stay on the open page and never enter the separate case-review request.
Criminal Charges and Immigration Consequences
Who it helps: Noncitizens and families trying to understand why a criminal matter may require immigration review before a plea or other resolution.
What you get: A focused explanation of the two-system review, records to gather, current official starting points, and a screened contact path. The guide does not predict an outcome or calculate a deadline.
Notice to Appear and Immigration Court Papers
Who it helps: People in New York who already have a Notice to Appear, hearing notice, immigration-judge order, BIA paper, or an unfamiliar immigration-court document.
What you get: A focused starting guide and private on-page organizer for the papers already in hand. The page does not collect an A-number, immigration facts, dates, allegations, or checklist answers.
New York Legal Navigator
Who it helps: Anyone facing an arrest or criminal charge, an immigration problem, a divorce/custody/support matter, a business or civil dispute, or a government agency decision.
What you get: An interactive map of New York's legal landscape: choose your situation and get a plain-language walkthrough of what commonly happens next, three preparation steps, the documents to gather, one important caution, and trusted official resources.
Legal Pathway
Who it helps: Anyone unsure which area of law fits their situation and which page to read first.
What you get: Answer three questions to find the most relevant legal-topic page, plus a short checklist of documents to gather and questions to ask a lawyer.
Questions about your specific situation?
These resources explain the general process; they can't account for the facts of your case. You can request an initial case review, and the office will review your request and contact you if it can assist, subject to conflicts and availability.
Request an initial case review
If you want the office to contact you, send only basic contact information and a broad matter category. Nothing you did inside a legal tool is included.
