IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES
COPO is dedicated non-profit organization providing immigration legal services to low-income individuals across a multitude of nationalities. Our mission is to secure a brighter future for those seeking a new life in a new land, supporting them every step of the way through the often complex and daunting immigration process.
Our expert team has a wealth of experience working with various immigration procedures, including Form N-400 for naturalization, Form I-90 for green card renewal or replacement, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitions, Form I-130 for family-based visas, and Adjustments of Status applications. We also specialize in facilitating work authorizations, rooted in our commitment to helping our clients attain self-sufficiency and stability in their new homes.
At the heart of our work is an unwavering commitment to human rights and social justice. We offer immigration screening for asylum cases, guiding those in the most dire circumstances through the legal maze to secure them the protection they need.
Our track record speaks for itself. We've successfully represented thousands of individuals, each with a unique story and circumstance. We take pride in the diversity of nationalities we've served, reflecting our belief in the universal right to seek a better life and our commitment to ensuring that right is accessible to all, irrespective of financial circumstances.
We are not just about providing legal aid; we are about empowering individuals, families, and communities. We believe in the power of every person to contribute positively to society, and we stand with them, advocating for their rights and facilitating their journeys towards new beginnings. Together, we are making dreams possible
LEGAL CLINICS
At COPO we are passionately striving to bridge the gap in the legal system by offering free legal clinics to low-income individuals of diverse nationalities. Our mission is to empower individuals by providing access to the resources and knowledge they need to understand and navigate the complexities of the law.
At our core, we believe that justice and legal representation should not be privileges afforded to a few, but fundamental rights accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances or ethnic background. We envision a world where no one is left helpless due to a lack of legal resources, and we work tirelessly to bring this vision to life.
Our team comprises compassionate, experienced legal professionals committed to offering personalized assistance. We provide a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable seeking help. Whether our clients need guidance with housing issues, immigration status, family disputes, or any other legal challenges, we are here to lend a helping hand.
To fulfill our mission, we conduct comprehensive legal clinics where we explain legal procedures, help individuals understand their rights, and provide preliminary advice on possible courses of action. Our services range from educating clients about their legal issues to offering guidance on how to handle specific situations.
Beyond our legal clinics, we actively engage in advocacy work, pushing for policy changes that would make the legal system more equitable. We also run workshops and awareness campaigns to educate the broader community about their legal rights and responsibilities.
Our organization is fueled by the generous support of our donors, volunteers, and dedicated staff members. Together, we are making a difference in our community, one legal clinic at a time. We are proud to be a beacon of hope and assistance to those who might otherwise be left voiceless within the legal system.
Join us in our fight for equality and justice. We warmly welcome volunteers, partners, and anyone passionate about making a positive difference in our society. Together, we can ensure that justice is truly for all.
