How to Get Legal Assistance

If you or someone you know needs legal assistance, the best way to secure it is to come to the Exodus office on Tuesday afternoons from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (clients can arrive as early as 1:00 p.m.) or Thursday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (clients can arrive as early as 9:00 a.m.). Exodus can see the first eight clients who come each day.

Our attorneys can assist with a variety of immigration issues, including asylum applications, green cards, employment authorization documents, citizenship applications, removal proceedings, BIA appeals, and more.
