CUNY law school offering immigrants advice

Legal advice available but you must make an appointment in advance.

Queens Courier - Due to a lack of money many people do not seek needed legal advice.

Now a free legal assistance program for Queens immigrants will provide lawyers who will give advice about immigration issues and help them with the necessary application forms for citizenship and residency.

Councilmember James Gennaro, who represents the communities of Jamaica, Fresh Meadows and Forest Hills amongst others, and the CUNY Law School’s Community Legal Resource Network launched a four-month-long, weekly program that will offer the legal advice at the Ebenezer Pentecostal Church, located at 145-15 Jamaica Avenue. The program will be free, open to the public and available in both English and Spanish.
