What We Do

Our Removal Defense Work

Our comprehensive approach ensures that vulnerable immigrant communities receive the legal representation and support they need.

A Comprehensive Legal Defense Program

RepresentLA operates through two interconnected pillars that together provide a safety net for immigrants facing deportation in Los Angeles County. Our merits-blind approach means we defend everyone who qualifies — regardless of the complexity of their case.

Detained Deportation Defense

Legal representation for immigrants held in detention

RepresentLA provides legal representation to detained immigrants in the Los Angeles region by operating, to the greatest extent possible, a merits-blind approach — ensuring everyone gets a fair defense regardless of case complexity.

Our legal partners visit detention facilities regularly and represent clients through every stage of their immigration proceedings. For many detained immigrants, having an attorney is the difference between being reunited with their families and being deported.

Non-Detained Deportation Defense

Legal aid for community members facing removal proceedings

RepresentLA represents low-income and vulnerable immigrants in need of legal representation in Los Angeles-area immigration courts, operating with a merits-blind approach to the greatest extent possible.

Many immigrants who are not detained still face removal proceedings and need expert legal guidance to navigate the complex immigration system. Our network of legal providers ensures they receive quality representation.
