Updated 7\/17 from print edition<\/i>*<\/p>\n

Lawyers and staff that are part of Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York pose in the group’s new headquarters located at 40 New St. in Saratoga Springs\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New
\nYork (LASNNY) moved in June to a new location
\nat 40 New St., Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n

LASNNY, which is the successor organization
\nto the Legal Aid Society of Albany, provides free
\ncivil legal services and education to low-income
\nupstate New Yorkers.
\nOfficials said the new location will allow the
\nstaff to provide the residents of Saratoga, Warren
\nand Washington counties easier access to
\nservices.<\/p>\n

“The Legal Aid Society provides an invaluable
\nservice to the many low income members of our
\ncommunity who are in need of civil legal advice
\nand counsel,” said Mayor Joanne Yepsen. “I am
\nvery pleased that they will continue to be a presence
\nin our city and I applaud the work they are
\ndoing, day in and day out.”
\nThe acquisition and rehabilitation of the
\nnew property was proved to be a challenge the
\nUpstate New York legal community was willing
\nto take on. To date, the campaign has reached a
\ntotal of $145,000 in donations, thanks to a challenge
\ngrant and match campaign initiated by the
\nWarren County Bar Foundation to the Warren
\nCounty Bar Association, officials said.<\/p>\n

LASNNY hopes to raise an additional $121,000
\nfrom members of the bar and the community
\nat large.<\/p>\n

The Foundation, originally planning to match
\nfunds up to $15,000, increased its pledge by
\n$5,000 when it saw the remarkable response
\nfrom its members, officials said. The challenger,
\nthe Warren County Bar Association, met its
\n$20,000 match for a total gift of $43,000 to the
\ncampaign.<\/p>\n

James T. Towne Jr., principal at Towne, Ryan & Partners PC, and his
\nwife Sue, kicked of the fundraising campaign with a donation of
\n$25,000. To keep the momentum going, an additional $20,000 one-to-one
\nchallenge match was made by the Townes and E. Stewart Jones, partner at
\nE. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy to members of the Saratoga Bar
\nAssociation.<\/p>\n

“When you realize the tireless work the
\nLASSNY attorneys and staff undertake each day
\non difficult and challenging matters on behalf
\nof the area’s most economically disadvantaged,
\nit was an easy task helping raise funds for this
\ngreat organization,” said Towne.<\/p>\n

The overall campaign is succeeding in driving
\ndown the 15-year mortgage on the property,
\nwhich will lend not only to a considerable savings
\nover the life of the loan and necessary renovations,
\nbut also allow for a greater focus on providing
\nquality legal services, the organization said.<\/p>\n

The new location also houses LASNNY’s
\nPrivate Attorney Involvement staff, including
\nMichele Sleight, Cheryl Dedes and Drew Wagner.
\nThe program oversees the work of pro-bono
\nattorneys throughout LASNNY’s service area.<\/p>\n

\nYork provides free civil legal services and education
\nto and advocacy for people with low income
\nor other barriers to accessing the legal system.
\nIt secures basic needs, protects and preserves
