Colorado Legal Services is the statewide LSC-funded civil legal-aid program: Denver central intake 303-837-1313 (~13 offices statewide). Its immigration work is limited (VAWA/U/T visa applications statewide and immigration matters for migrant farm workers); for broader immigration help, the organizations above are the direct route.

Several of these organizations, including RMIAN for the Aurora detained docket, provide pro bono representation before the Denver and Aurora immigration courts; the U.S. Department of Justice (EOIR) List of Pro Bono Legal Service Providers is updated quarterly. None of the organizations on this page pay us — these are public-interest referrals, not sponsored links.

⚠️ Important: Avoid fraudulent “notarios”

AVOID PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES “NOTARIO PÚBLICO” FOR IMMIGRATION if not attorneys or BIA-accredited reps. US notary publics are NOT attorneys (unlike Latin America). People without legal credentials practicing immigration are violating federal law.

Verify credentials:

How to prepare for consultation

  1. Bring ALL documents: passport, green card if any, USCIS letters, criminal records, tax returns, evidence of family relationship, immigration status history
  2. Be HONEST: even about criminal records or past issues. Attorney needs FULL truth to defend you well.
  3. Ask about timelines and possible outcomes
  4. Confirm cost (if applicable) in writing before committing
  5. Bring translator if your English is limited
