Support for Immigrant Survivors of Domestic Violence (504) 310-6860 In an effort to enhance services for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, our immigration staff attorney works with the New Orleans Family Justice Center in close collaboration with case managers, family law attorneys, behavioral therapists, the New Orleans Police Department, the District Attorney’s office and other domestic violence advocates, to help clients regain control of their lives while also receiving pro bono legal services to acquire lawful immigration status. This status protects the survivor from deportation in case of a law enforcement investigation and provides a path to permanent residency, and ultimately citizenship. Services for Unaccompanied Children (504) 310-6860 We provide legal representation and holistic case management to unaccompanied children from Central America who have been reunified with family/sponsors in the Greater New Orleans area. In addition to legal representation, these children often arrive having faced traumatic experiences in their home countries and during their flight to the U.S., and have significant social support needs. We provide case management and assessments to identify children’s special needs and connect them with appropriate resources to ensure their safety and protection. Translation and Notary Services (504) 310-6860 We offer translation services of legal documents and birth certificates in general. The documents are certified in-house.
