Pro Bono Services for Service Members
Welcome to Immigration Paralegal Services, where our mission is to support attorneys who are eager to provide legal aid to servicemembers, veterans, and their families dealing with U.S. immigration issues, all at a reduced cost or pro bono.
Throughout the history of our nation, immigrants have steadfastly served and defended the U.S. Military. Recent data from the Department of Defense reveals that over 65,000 immigrants, comprising both naturalized citizens and non-citizens, are currently serving, with approximately 8,000 new recruits annually. Sadly, every year, hundreds, if not thousands, of these dedicated servicemembers and their families are directly impacted by our flawed immigration system. Many face deportation, often due to minor technical violations or the absence of serious criminal convictions.
Our founder, Mr. Marash Lekocaj, once aspired to join the U.S. Military while still a college student, but his dream was deferred due to his immigration status at the time (F-1 Status). Nevertheless, his passion for supporting the U.S. Military never wavered. During his tenure at the Michigan House of Representatives, he even pledged fifty percent of his earnings to the Michigan Soldiers Fund in the event of his demise.
Today, Mr. Lekocaj proudly stands as a naturalized U.S. citizen, deeply grateful for the freedom and protection offered by the United States. He holds a profound appreciation for all U.S. military personnel, particularly immigrant servicemembers and veterans, who risk their lives to safeguard and fortify the nation they so valiantly serve, often without the recognition of naturalized Americans.
At Immigration Paralegal Services, we honor their service, dedication, and sacrifices to our great nation. Working hand in hand with our clients, immigration attorneys, our firm is committed to aiding attorneys who are ready to help U.S. military personnel secure legal status for themselves and their immediate family members. If you have a client who is a veteran, active-duty service member, or a member of a U.S. military family seeking assistance with their immigration matters, please don’t hesitate to contact our office to discuss pro bono services.
