We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization deeply concerned about the rights of DC residents who do not qualify for free legal aid. We strive to provide caring, effective, creative, and affordable legal services and are passionate and diligent advocates for our clients. Our practice areas are family law, immigration, and estate planning.

Recognizing the need for accessible legal assistance for residents of the District of Columbia, Georgetown University Law Center, Arent Fox LLP, and DLA Piper LLP joined together to create the DC Affordable Law Firm (“DCALF”) in 2015. DCALF, a charitable non-profit, charges modest fees consistent with a client’s ability to pay. Given the tremendous unmet legal needs of hardworking, modest wage earners, it is not surprising that in the brief time since it was created, DCALF has more legal work than it can handle.

In Fall of 2020 , DCALF launched a central partnership with the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, the District of Columbia’s only public law school and one of only six American Bar Association-approved law schools at a Historically Black College or University. This key development resulted in a 44% increase in our legal team, enriching the quality and caliber of DCALF’s staff and enabling our organization to have a greater community impact.

We represent immigrants before US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Arlington Asylum Office, and the local immigration courts (Arlington and Baltimore). We are sensitive to and respectful of the complicated circumstances that bring clients to our office. We provide compassionate and client-centered representation to help you achieve your goals.

David Carliner established the firm, now Carliner and Remes, as one of the first immigration law firms in Washington in the early 1950’s. Headed by Robert A. Remes, who has specialized in immigration and nationality law since 1977, the firm has three attorneys and one legal assistant. We have many decades of experience in defeating deportation proceedings, obtaining legal status through permanent or temporary employment, changing to student status, securing asylum for refugees who fear persecution because of political opinion, female genital mutilation, religion or sexual preference, and attaining citizenship.

We may also be able to persuade the immigration authorities to exercise prosecutorial discretion to abandon removal proceedings or grant deferred action status when there are no other alternatives for the client. In appropriate cases we can avoid the time-consuming process of labor certification by showing that a skill, experience or qualification is in the national interest or reflects exceptional or extraordinary ability.

Our practice is devoted exclusively to immigration and nationality law, representing families, small businesses, and corporations before the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS). Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Immigration Courts, Board of Immigration Appeals, and Federal District Courts and Courts of Appeals.

Of course, we can never promise an outcome, but we will never start any case without full and complete disclosure of problems and issues.
