In 2019, ILAP represented 293 full representation clients and served 2,788 individuals in the immigration forms program. ILAP also maintained a success rate of greater than 97% in cases that reached a final decision. Additionally, 175 pro bono attorneys donated 4,014 hours of their time valued at 1,032,536.
