About Us
For more than 6 decades, the NCBA ACDP has partnered with a cadre of highly qualified private attorneys, the Courts, and Nassau County to ensure that individuals entitled to assigned counsel receive high-quality legal representation when the Nassau County Legal Aid Society cannot serve.
We are far more than the Attorneys of the Day.
Our role extends well beyond assigning attorneys to staff different Court parts and processing their vouchers for payment. We invest in the attorneys who serve our community by providing the tools, training, and support necessary to meet the complex needs of today’s clients.
A commitment to excellence
The strength of any assigned counsel program depends upon the strength of its attorneys. We are committed to cultivating the next generation of skilled advocates while supporting experienced practitioners throughout their careers. By providing meaningful educational programming and practical guidance, we strive to create an environment where attorneys can continue learning, collaborating, and growing professionally. Our investment in attorney development is ultimately an investment in every client they serve.
A full team behind every case
By supporting attorneys with multidisciplinary resources and encouraging client-centered representation, we help ensure that legal advocacy addresses not only the legal issues before the Court but also the circumstances that brought clients there. Representation grounded in dignity, respect, and compassion leads to stronger outcomes for clients, families, and our community.
Experience, passed forward
From mentoring new Panel members and providing second-chair opportunities, to providing meaningful CLE programming and practical guidance, we strive to create an environment where attorneys can continue learning, collaborating, and growing professionally. We fund every Panelist’s membership in the Nassau County Bar Association to foster collaboration with other attorneys, the Courts, and community partners to strengthen access to justice.
