Immigrant Legal Services (ILS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping immigrants from all over the world find peace, freedom, and safety within their communities. We are staffed by two attorneys, who are fluent in English and Spanish. ILS offers high quality legal representation in areas of immigration such as asylum, removal defense, family reunification, permanent residence, citizenship, and more at a low bono rate. Please note that we are not able to assist with detained cases at this time.
