The MOIA Immigration Legal Support Hotline helps eligible New York City residents find trusted immigration legal help in the five boroughs. The Hotline does not provide legal services directly and they do not schedule callers for appointments.

The Hotline may be able to show you where to find a trusted provider after you provide some information. Please note that even if you contact a MOIA program partner, due to high demand, it is not guaranteed that someone will take your case on for full representation. You also may not be able to receive a screening.
