How We Can Help
|
Confidential Consultations
Free, confidential help is available for you or a lawyer you know with alcohol, drug, gambling, emotional, behavioral or other personal problems. Professional and peer assistance may be necessary to bring about positive change. The New Jersey Lawyers Assistance Program offers this service on a free and confidential basis. Assessment sessions are available to help define the problem and to recommend a helping hand. Our conversations are understanding of your need for confidentiality.
NJLAP provides information and referral to appropriate helping resources. NJLAP also offers ongoing confidential recovery support. These statewide services are without fee, confidential and open to ALL New Jersey attorneys.

Providing Practice Assistance
An attorney with a personal or medical problem may, in some cases, need specific help to meet law practice demands during a difficult time. NJLAP works with volunteer lawyers who function under Confidentiality Rule 1:28B-3.
These volunteer lawyers, either individually or in teams, can assist with the time and energy necessary to keep a law practice operating smoothly and protect the clients. The volunteer lawyers can, through limited, temporary assistance, relieve the mind of a troubled colleague during his or her treatment, this allowing concentration on recovery.
