The mission of Legal Services of Northern Virginia is to provide legal services to low-income, elderly or disabled, who, without legal assistance, face the loss or deprivation of a critical human need - food, shelter, medical care, income, family stability, or personal safety. LSNV seeks to provide equal access to the civil justice system for those residents of the City of Alexandria, the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William and the cities and towns adjacent to those counties, who are unable to afford private legal counsel.
