Attorneys, representing foreign-born clients, should always look for the opportunities to reach out to their culturally diverse clients in their languages. Multilingual translations of many government publications make this task easy. The USCIS, for instance, offers Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Arabic, Tagalog, Portuguese, French, Haitian-Creole, and Spanish translations of "Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants".
This valuable resource not only addresses the various aspects of life here, but also contains professionally translated chapters on finding legal assistance; on the consequences of criminal behavior; and on becoming a U.S. citizen, which will be especially relevant to your foreign clients.
