OUR COVID19 RESPONSE

In Response to the Corona Virus (COVID-19) we are taking steps to protect the health of our clients & staff, and help prevent the spread of the virus.

All consultations and client meetings will be done by phone or video call until further notice.

Our office will remain operational but will remain closed to clients until further notice.

This pandemic has also put our client's cases in jeopardy because DHS has refused to postpone hearings and extend all filing deadlines, forcing people to choose between putting themselves in danger or face deportation.

We are proactively seeking continuances for all hearings scheduled for the year 2020 & requesting extensions for all filing deadlines.
