Farmworker Legal Services (FLS) is a legal aid office with attorneys and other legal staff who provide free legal assistance and referrals to migrant and seasonal farmworkers throughout the state of Michigan. FLS assists with employment, benefits, housing, education and immigration.

Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Mission Statement: FLS is committed to ensuring immigrant, migrant, and seasonal farmworkers' equal access to economic and social justice through civil impact litigation in employment and civil rights cases. Farmworkers have specialized legal needs that arise from their work in agriculture and the temporary and transitory nature of their work. Since 1997, FLS has advocated for the rights of farmworkers through its extensive network of community partnerships and the wide range of free civil legal services it provides to farmworkers. For over 20 years, FLS has conducted outreach at migrant labor camps throughout the state of Michigan; offered technical assistance, referrals, advice, and intake services to farmworkers through the statewide hotline; and represented farmworkers in cases involving immigration, unlawful recruitment fees, wage theft, substandard housing or working conditions, retaliation, discrimination, and other exploitative schemes. Since 2017, FLS and the Michigan Immigrant Rights Center ("MIRC") have jointly staffed a toll-free hotline in order to provide technical assistance and a seamless intake process for low-wage immigrant and agricultural workers with employment, civil rights, and immigration-related cases.
