The First Steps Towards Citizenship

Bright and early on Saturday morning, April 1, a dozen attorneys volunteered their time at the Bar Association’s first-ever Citizenship Clinic, assisting over thirty individuals begin their naturalization process by completing and filing n-400 forms. Daniel Cortes organized the clinic by screening the individuals seeking naturalization prior to the clinic, compiling all the necessary forms, and hosting a CLE to train the volunteers and answer all their questions. The Centro Hispano was a gracious host, providing ample private spaces for attorneys and clients, staff members to assist with interpreting, and endless technical support.

The volunteer attorneys celebrate a successful clinic after helping over 30 individuals begin their naturalization process.
