NJPSA Extended Legal Services & Field Services
Join the NJPSA Extended Legal Services Program
Anyone who has used NJPSA legal services for job related matters knows that having NJPSA counsel fight for your rights is an invaluable benefit. It’s insurance that you can’t be without.
But what about personal matters? If you are buying a new home, selling your current home, entering into a contract, starting a corporation, or having a will written without the benefit of legal representation, you can put yourself at risk — needlessly. That’s why you should join the NJPSA Extended Legal Services. The advice you need is only a telephone call away. And if you need legal representation, you will have access to an attorney on a reduced fee basis.

Last Will & Testament — Why You Need One
A person’s last will & testament directs how his or her estate is to be divided; whether it all goes to friends, educational institutions or other charities. Without a will the laws of succession or intestacy take over, and you will lose control of how you wnt your estate divided.
Estate Planning and Elder Care — Expertise Required
Leaving things to chance can cost much more than planning ahead. You need to understand your options and know your legal rights about advanced medical directives, trusts, guardianships and powers of attorney.
NJPSA Field Services
Thank you so much in helping me finalize my retirement plans. Because of your help, I was able to leave with an excellent agreement.
NJPSA’s Field Services provides members with support, guidance and representation in contract negotiations, grievances and, when needed, representation before boards of education. As contract negotiations become increasingly difficult, the availability of our field services becomes increasingly important.
NJPSA field representatives are labor relations specialists well trained and skilled in assisting NJPSA members and affiliated collective bargaining units in improving job security, salaries, fringe benefits and working conditions. Field representatives conveniently represent members in the north, central, and southern regions of New Jersey.
