Estate planning and probate lawyers help families prepare wills and trusts and settle estates.

Choosing a law firm in Hicksville

New York has no mandatory state bar, so confirm the lawyer's standing through the New York State Unified Court System's public attorney search, which shows registration status, admission year and any public discipline.

Ask whether the firm regularly handles matters in Nassau County's courts and, for immigration cases, whether the lawyer keeps up with federal filing deadlines, which can be strict. Get the fee arrangement in writing — contingency for most injury claims, flat fee or hourly for family, immigration and real estate matters — and confirm who at the firm will be handling your case.

Free and low-cost help

Nassau/Suffolk Law Services offers free civil legal help to income-eligible Long Island residents in housing, family and benefits matters, and some organizations in the area assist specifically with immigration questions. The Nassau County Bar Association runs a lawyer referral service for a reduced-cost first consultation. Anyone facing criminal charges who cannot afford a lawyer is entitled to a court-appointed attorney.
