Immigration Counseling Service (ICS) was founded in 1978. At that time lower income individuals who needed counsel and representation with immigration matters had absolutely no where to turn for help. What began as a grassroots effort was championed and nurtured by long-time immigrant advocate, Margaret Godfrey. During these past 30 years, ICS has provided legal assistance to many thousands of individuals from over 90 plus countries around the world. ICS carries on Margaret's legacy, remaining dedicated to ensuring that anyone with an immigration matter has a place to come for help.
