You will receive a response within two business days. Residents may also visit the NCBA COVID-19 resource... web page at www.nassaubar.org for additional resources and helpful information. **The attorney who consults with you is available on a consultation basis only, which means that the attorney is not able to represent you in court or in any legal proceedings.
