Affordable Legal Support for All

Fair Access Legal Representation Program

Our Fair Access Legal Rep Program (FALRP)connects immigrants in urgent need of legal assistance with compassionate and affordable  attorneys.

Accessible Legal Representation for All

The Fair Access Legal Rep Program is dedicated to ensuring that immigrants facing legal challenges have access to competent and compassionate legal representation. By connecting individuals with pre-screened attorneys who offer fair rates, we strive to make justice accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

In partnership with Mercy In Faith Ministries, we are expanding our support to include accredited representatives, further reducing barriers to justice. Our collaborative approach allows attorneys to focus on legal strategy while we handle the administrative tasks, ensuring that no immigrant stands alone in their pursuit of dignity and due process.
