The immigration journey is different for everyone, and applications and petitions can be complicated. From answering questions about legal status to translating and submitting paperwork, to assisting with removal defense, we offer clear information and free or low-cost legal assistance for immigrants and their families. The Jewish Family Service Immigration Legal Services Department is comprised of immigration attorneys and Department of Justice accredited representatives dedicated to educating and advocating on behalf of immigrants and refugees.
Update – May 9, 2025
Immigration legal services previously offered by the San Diego Rapid Response Network are now provided by the Immigration Legal Service Coalition of San Diego, led by Casa Cornelia Law Center and Jewish Family Service of San Diego. We are actively working to expand our network of partners to offer additional services.
If you need immigration legal assistance for someone recently detained by immigration enforcement, please contact the Immigration Legal Service Coalition at (858) 751-7553.
