Through our pro bono programs, we connect volunteer attorneys with individuals in need of representation. Each volunteer attorney is connected with an individual mentor who is available to discuss the case, review filings, and provide support. RMIAN also provides access to our library of training materials, including recorded webinars, sample filings and briefs, and representation guides. Interpretation and translation services are provided. No prior immigration experience is required and malpractice coverage is offered. Please note, some matters can be completed remotely, and other matters require Colorado bar admission and ability to appear in court in Colorado.
