The National Immigration Legal Services Directory is a free, searchable online resource that connects immigrants with nonprofit legal services providers across the United States. It allows users to search by state, county, detention facility, or zip code to find free or low-cost nonprofit lawyers, advocacy programs, and immigration legal assistance organizations. Only nonprofit organizations that offer immigration legal support are included, making it a focused tool for communities seeking trustworthy legal help.
This directory is a joint project of the Immigration Advocates Network and Pro Bono Net, two long-standing networks in the immigrant rights and legal access space. It offers detailed listings for hundreds of organizations, including contact information, areas of legal assistance, languages spoken, and service locations. Users can refine searches based on legal needs like adjustment of status, asylum applications, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), family-based petitions, and more.
The service also includes features like email or print-friendly lists and the ability to create customized search results. Because the directory aggregates dozens of local and statewide programs, it is a vital tool for immigrants, advocates, and community organizers working to improve legal access and justice.
