ABOUT US
The Immigration and Legal Center, is a legal and immigration representation program of the non-profit organization, Binational Institute of Human Development.
We are small, but dynamic and growing organization, representing clients on cases ranging from immigration to family court cases and traffic cases. Our mission is to assist people of low and moderate-income with their immigration and legal processes, providing affordable, yet high-quality, representation. We are considerate of our clients, charging nominal fees, with reasonable payment options.
We are well-recognized within the community, after more than 8 years working within the community, and have a firm understanding of the needs of the Latino market. However, we are not limited to the Latino market, and represent clients from a variety of background, including Mainstream US Citizens, Eastern European, Caribbean and Asian clients, but overall, we are a global and inclusive organization assisting anybody who needs our services without distinction.
A big load of cases we represent are immigration cases, such as family petitions, investment, business and job visas, waivers and defense of removal proceedings, but we also represent clients in family court cases, criminal, DUIs, as well as Elder, Real State, and Small Business Law.
