ABOUT US

•  Legal representation and immigration services to those who come to South Florida from foreign lands. 
•  Professional assistance to those who lack sufficient means to obtain legal help; and
•  Quality services without regard to faith, race, national origin, or any other distinguishing characteristic.

We focus exclusively on helping poor immigrants obtain asylum, establish legal residency, become citizens, reunite families and understand immigration law and policies by providing public education. As a provider of legal assistance and representation for immigrants, refugees, and impoverished people in South Florida, CLS provides a full range of immigration-related legal services, from initial advice, to assistance, to full representation, to a low-income clientele.

Catholic Legal Services, Archdiocese of Miami has a multicultural, multilingual, professional staff with extensive immigration expertise that has successfully helped thousands of clients from around the world since its inception. Our members focus on a particular area and play crucial roles in the daily operations of Catholic Legal Services.



Dear Friend and Supporter:

The visceral images from the border, the disturbing audio bites of children screaming for their parents, compel us to respond to this humanitarian crisis. Some of these children have been transferred to facilities in South Florida. Please know that Catholic Legal Services is working closely with our partners at Americans for Immigrant Justice, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, others in the legal community, and immigrant advocates, to create an effective South Florida response to this crisis.

But it is so important to also remember that DAILY in the immigration courts of Miami and the detention facilities of South Florida, parents of US citizens, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, receive removal orders from Immigration judges and face imminent deportation. This situation worsens daily as the mechanisms of deportation ramp up. It will get even worse as the humanitarian protections of TPS and DACA expire.

Help us respond to this humanitarian crisis in our midst. Help us keep South Florida’s families together and strong. Help us to endure that our neighbors receive fair and full due process, as our law requires.

Sincerely,

Randy McGrorty, Esq.
CEO
