FLG EMPOWERS OUR COMMUNITY
FRANCO LAW GROUP ENGAGES ITS COMMUNITY THROUGH A MYRIAD OF CHANNELS IN ORDER TO BUILD A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ALLIES. THESE INCLUDE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, COMMUNITY OUTREACH EVENTS, PRO BONO SERVICES AND APPEARANCES IN THE PRESS.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
FLG strives to empower our community by collaborating with non-profit, government and non-governmental organizations to disseminate accurate and up-to-date immigration information via their staff members and/or detailed workshops designed to protect immigrant rights and prevent notary fraud and unethical behavior of lawyers and non-lawyers attempting to take advantage of the immigrant community’s vulnerabilities.
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Dedicated to supporting education and amplifying advocacy, Franco Law Group has integrated the FLG Internship Program. In order to provide college students and graduates with a cohesive understanding of a reputable immigration law firm, the FLG Internship Program exposes the individual to various components and elements of immigration law, and allows them to manage their own cases with the supervision of an attorney. They will also be introduced to an array of tools used by attorneys, paralegals, financial administrators and marketing associates. Franco Law Group believes that by facilitating a pipeline of students to learn about immigration law, a growing number of these individuals will attend law school and return as immigration advocates and attorneys. Interested candidates may send their resume and cover letter to iniguez@francolawgroup.com.
PRO BONO PROGRAM
Committed to helping the most vulnerable immigrants, Franco Law Group has ran its Pro Bono Program for almost ten years, providing free legal services to the elderly, infirm, disabled and unaccompanied minors. Despite being a private law firm, as community members, we realize that immigrants who are elderly, infirm or children will not be able to afford an attorney and yet still need solid representation. In order to assist with this representation gap, year after year, our firm has devoted and reserved ten percent (10%) of FLG’s docket to helping this susceptible population free of charge.
MEDIA COLLABORATION
Our Founder/CEO, Ms. Delia L. Franco, Esq. believes that the dissemination of accurate, up-to-date immigration news and warnings is imperative to protecting our immigrant community against the current negative political climate and thus participates in several news outlets. She has been featured in Univision, Telemundo, Azteca TV, amongst others to discuss ongoing political issues and concerns surrounding immigration in the United States. Please send any press inquiries or public comments to Alcaraz@FrancoLawGroup.com.
