• An Edison-based legal services firm is providing free legal help for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
  
  Legal Services of New Jersey(1) president Melville D. Miller Jr. said the storm left many residents facing eviction or foreclosure, and others struggling with applying for federal disaster aid.
  
  “Although our resources are badly stretched, Legal Services will find a way to assist Sandy victims,” Miller said in a statement. “It is essential to bring the expertise of our staff to bear on those problems.”
