Navigating the U.S. immigration system can be overwhelming when doing so on your own- especially when language barriers, high legal costs, and complex paperwork stand in the way. That’s why legal aid workshops are such a critical resource for immigrant communities. These free or low-cost events connect immigrants with knowledgeable attorneys and advocates who can answer questions, help with forms, and help to clarify the ever-changing process.

Centro San Juan Diego
This Catholic-founded and led organization aids the Hispanic community with integrating faith and legal assistance to provide all those in need with a welcoming and inclusive resource.
“...Centro San Juan Diego will be a unique place combining spiritual, educational and corporal care into one center geared toward strengthening low-income families and assisting them toward self-sufficiency…” -Most Reverend Jose H. Gomez (Centro San Juan Diego, 2003)
Free Legal Nights:
'Legal Night' is a bimonthly occurrence- 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month- in which attorneys offer free legal advice on manners such as: immigration, credit, home or rent, employment, and family law.
Some important things to note are as follows:
Do not bring extra people. Centro San Juan Diego requests that only the person seeking legal advice attends the meeting. This is to limit the number of people in the building.
Twice a month. In-person consultations are offered on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month at their address below.
Space is limited. Registrations for Legal Night start at 3pm on the day of the consultation. There are no advance sign-up options.
Disclaimer: The attorney providing legal advice may not end up representing you or take any action on their behalf after the consultation.
