SOAR Immigration Legal Services

Since 1992, SOAR Immigration Legal Services has provided culturally competent, immigration-related legal representation and education to refugees and immigrants with limited income throughout Oregon.

SOAR Immigration Legal Services is recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice as an authorized provider of immigration legal services. Our attorney-driven legal program has a staff of four attorneys and five Department of Justice accredited representatives. We also have an ESL education team, a mental health advocate and an outreach coordinator to support our clients. Meet our staff.

Last year, our team provided legal services, educational services and legal consultations to more than 2,000 people.
