Become a Pro Bono Immigration Attorney in the Los Angeles Area!

Help families stay together, and give unaccompanied minors or individuals facing deportation a chance to win their cases!

Posted April 18, 2019

Dear volunteer attorney,

If you are interested in supporting the immigrant community facing deportation, we are inviting you to join our Pro Bono information sessions to take on your own immigration case!

During our sessions, we will talk about the many opportunities for you to get involved, and will answer general and specific questions before you take on your own case. Our sessions are scheduled to go for one hour, and will take place:

Pro Bono information sessions (Ask Carlos Valdes how to RSVP to any of our sessions!)
Date: 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month
Location: Esperanza (1530 James M. Wood Blvd, Los Angeles CA, 90020)

Esperanza will match you with a case depending on your interest and skills. Attorneys from all practice areas are invited to register for an attorney information session.

If you have any questions, or would like to RSVP or receive more information, please contact Carlos Valdes at CValdes@ccharities.org.

We look forward to hearing from you!
