Find Legal Help

From community experience, not from an official source. Check the official links before acting.

Community tipThe IRS, USCIS and Indian consulates NEVER call demanding payment by gift card or wire — hang up, it is always a scam.
Community tipImmigration representation is regulated: 8 CFR 1292.1 lets attorneys, EOIR-accredited representatives of recognised organisations, supervised law students and a few narrow other categories represent you. Notarios, 'consultants' and travel agents are not on that list — a notario in the US is not a lawyer, whatever the word means in India. Verify anyone you pay through the links above before handing over documents or money.
Community tipMany county bar associations run 'Ask a Lawyer' clinics monthly — search your county + 'legal clinic'.
