| WHO WE ARE |
The Legal Aid Society of Rochester is a not-for-profit organization that provides direct legal services, including lay advocacy and related human services, to adults and children. We ensure that those who seek justice have an opportunity to receive a fair and full hearing. We obtain legal solutions that have a beneficial impact on our clients and the community.
The goal of the Immigration Law Unit is to provide high quality and vigorous legal representation to assist aliens to legalize their status, defeat deportation efforts, and/or be educated to their rights as aliens. The Program provides services throughout Western, Central, and Northeastern NY.
The Program provides legal representation, advice, information, and counseling:
-
to assist persons fleeing persecution in their native lands so that they can live safely in the United States
-
to unite families of U.S. citizens or permanent residents by obtaining immigration status for their undocumented members
-
to avert deportation of persons eligible to remain in the U.S.
-
to remedy the discrimination that our clients are subjected to due to their immigration status
During the growing season the Program provides legal assistance at various clinics located near growers and farm-workers.
