Celebrate our 30th Anniversary!
From our humble beginnings 30 years ago, Casa Cornelia has become one of the most impactful public interest law firms serving the immigrant community in San Diego County.
This year, we continue to see an increased need in the community for our services. By securing immigration-based humanitarian protections, we help ensure our clients find safety, freedom, and a new life.
At our annual La Mancha Awards we will celebrate our volunteer attorneys, translators and interpreters who have been essential in the pursuit of justice for our clients. While we reflect on the past 30 years, with your donation we can ensure that we will be able to be on the front lines of any future humanitarian crises.
A 501(c)(3) public interest law firm, provides quality pro bono legal services to victims of human and civil rights violations.
We are committed to indigent persons within the immigrant community in greater San Diego County. That includes:
- Individuals seeking asylum to escape unjust persecution from their home country.
- Undocumented victims of domestic crime, trafficking, and other crime.

We seek to educate others regarding the impact of immigration law and policy on the community and the public good.
