Below is a directory of Colorado organizations that offer free or low cost immigration services. Representation is not guaranteed. The organizations below have agreed to be included in this directory, but that does not mean they must represent you. You are encouraged to call several attorneys to find one who is willing to work with you and who you can afford. Representation is a mutual decision that is left to you and the attorney. No endorsement or recommendation is made of any organization or attorney. This directory is not an attorney referral service, but is merely offered to assist you in narrowing your choices in selecting an attorney.
