We offer legal representation and educational resources that empower the immigrant community, their supporters, and anyone seeking family reunification, justice, and safety.
Legal Representation: Immigration Legal Services (ILS) provides low-cost legal assistance to individuals and families who wish to extend or maintain lawful immigration status or apply for U.S. citizenship. We charge a $50 consultation fee and ask that you bring copies of any immigration documents, previous filings, or other personal documents related to your case. To schedule an appointment, please call 225-376-6849.
Know Your Rights Workshops:Everyone has the right to due process, but not everyone knows what those rights are or how to protect them when facing pressure from local law enforcement or immigration officers. Thanks to support from the Louisiana Bar Foundation, we hold informational sessions at least twice a month to help community members understand their rights. To find out where the next “Know Your Rights” workshop will be held, or to request one at your local church, school, or community center, please contact our office at 225-376-6849.
