Catholic Legal Services Inc.

Catholic Legal Services provides professional immigration services to South Florida’s refugee and immigrant communities. Every year CCLS brings over 12,000 legal actions on behalf of its clients. CCLS assists individuals seeking to reunite with their families; political and religious refugees seeking safety and security; essential religious workers seeking to minister to U.S. religious communities; battered spouses and their children; securing free legal representation for non-detained children. Without CCLS’s assistance, too many deserving immigrants and refugees lose the opportunity to avail themselves of the laws enacted for their protection. However, with our help, many deserving immigrants and refugees persevere and realize their dreams for a bright and secure future in the United States. Your support of CCLS helps provide top-notch pro bono legal assistance and representation to deserving immigrants and refugees.

Donate to CCLS and help us continue providing services to this vulnerable community.
