LGBTQ Immigration Lawyer in San Diego
Trusted in the Community: Diverse Backgrounds, Years of Experience, and Open Minds
At Jacobs & Schlesinger LLP, we believe in the positive influence of the LGBTQ community in San Diego. We are members of the SDEBA (formerly GSDBA) San Diego Equality Business Association, a group that promotes LGBTQ influence through business ownership, workforce equality, and active consumerism.
We are not blind to the fact that many issues are not visible to the general public. Although issues related to immigration policies in the United States are prominent in the news and media, the intersection of these issues with the LGBTQ community is often ignored. The Williams Institute at UCLA estimates that 267,000 undocumented individuals identify as LGBTQ. Despite these numbers, LGBTQ immigrants are rarely covered in the media or included in conversations about immigration.
Many members of the community have documented and undocumented family members, partners, or friends who are impacted and directly affected by the decisions and policies made by the current administration. At Jacobs & Schleginer LLP, we believe in immigration relief for all and we are ready help. At our firm, we provide legal services in a caring and respectful environment.

Were You Detained by ICE?
Many LGBT immigrants are forced to leave their countries of origin to escape violence and discrimination, and we know they can face additional dangers when detained by ICE or other agencies.
According to the Center for American Progress, transgender women are:
- Disproportionately detained in immigration centers
- Often housed with men
- Disproportionately victims of sexual assault and harassment
- Are not provided life-saving medication
- Often put in solitary confinement
- Less likely to win their asylum cases if they are detained
If you or a loved one has faced any of the conditions we discussed above, you should immediately contact a San Diego LGBT immigration lawyer at Jacbos & Schlesinger LLP to take legal action.
