Our Services
Justice For Our Neighbors North Central Texas (NCTx) offers free and affordable, high-quality immigration legal services, provides education to the public, and engages in advocacy with and for our immigrant neighbors. JFONNCTx services a region that is centered around the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Legal services are provided by a licensed immigration attorney who remains with their case until relief is granted or all avenues are exhausted. Intake Clinics are held once each month at local churches. At these clinics, immigrant neighbors are welcomed and meet with the JFONNCTx attorney to learn if they have a claim to the legal status they seek. Volunteers and staff are privileged to hear the real stories of real people and see the issue of immigration in a much clearer light.
