Steven Banks, attorney-in-chief at the Legal Aid Society, said the demand for legal help in New York City has risen dramatically since Hurricane Sandy struck last year. The society helped about 48,000 people with civil matters last year, including foreclosures, immigration problems, evictions and wage disputes. Mr. Banks estimated the group turned eight times as many away. “It’s a very real problem that confronts low-income families and individuals,” he said. “The need is really limitless.” nyti.ms/1cPu46q
