Immigration Legal Services

At RAICES, we provide a frontline response to the systemic barriers facing immigrant communities through trauma-informed, subsidized legal representation. We believe in a nation where everyone has access to justice, regardless of their origin, ensuring that no one has to face complex legal institutions alone. Statistics show that families with legal representation are up to 10 times more likely to achieve a favorable outcome in immigration court, providing a vital chance to find safety and plant roots in their new homes.

Our mission is to create a future where you have the opportunity to achieve your American dream. If you or a loved one needs assistance, our team is ready to support. To schedule an initial consultation at any of our office locations across Texas, please call us at +1 (833) 372-4237.

RAICES FAQ: Finding Immigration Legal Representation

  • You can use verified legal directories such as the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) (aila.org), the Texas State Bar (texasbar.com) to check standing, or the Immigration Advocates Network (immigrationadvocates.org) for nonprofit legal service providers.

  • Check online review platforms like Google Reviews, Avvo, and Martindale-Hubbell. Always be cautious of attorneys who make unrealistic promises.

  • Choose an attorney who specializes in immigration law, not a general practitioner, and ensure they have experience handling your specific type of case (e.g., asylum, removal defense, family petitions).

  • Only work with licensed attorneys or Department of Justice (DOJ)-accredited representatives. Beware of notarios (notary publics) who are not authorized to practice law. Never sign blank forms or pay large upfront fees without a written agreement.

  • Yes, most reputable attorneys offer paid or free consultations where they assess your case and explain your legal options. Prepare questions about their experience, fees, and case strategy before the meeting.

  • Ensure the attorney provides a written contract (retainer agreement) outlining their fees and services. Be wary of attorneys who demand full payment upfront or offer vague pricing.
