Haitian Lawyers Association

🚨 Immigration law is no longer just an immigration lawyer’s issue.

Whether you practice criminal law, family law, probate, civil litigation, employment law, or estate planning, immigration consequences can impact your clients in ways you may not expect.

Join the Haitian Lawyers Association for an important General Body Meeting & CLE designed to equip non-immigration attorneys with the practical tools needed to recognize immigration issues, ask the right questions, and make informed referrals that can change the trajectory of a client’s case.

Hear from nationally respected immigration attorneys Mark A. Prada, Esq. and Jessica Reyes, Esq., moderated by Eddy Laguerre, Esq., as they discuss today’s immigration landscape, removal proceedings, TPS developments, immigration intake strategies, and how immigration intersects with nearly every area of practice.
