Legal Orientation Presentation

NWIRP provides information on legal rights for detained immigrants under its Legal Orientation Presentation program. All detained immigrants who will be appearing before a judge in removal proceedings will have an opportunity to first participate in the Legal Orientation Program.

If you are in removal (deportation) proceedings, you can retain a lawyer to represent you, but you will need to pay for these services. This is different from criminal proceedings, where the government will pay for a lawyer. Click for a list of local attorneys that have experience with immigration.Attorney List PDF
