Legal Aid Society of Rochester - Immigration Law Unit
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.
