Navigating FOIA and Records Requests

July 30, 2025 | 2-3:30 p.m. ET | CA MCLE: 1.5

You’ve interviewed your client, and they disclosed an arrest, but they can’t remember when it happened. They want to naturalize, but they can’t remember whether they disclosed the arrest on their adjustment of status. Maybe they were stopped at the border, but they are unsure what happened next. What should you do next? This webinar will cover where to find the facts you need in order to counsel your client. It will cover how to make FOIA requests, how to obtain FBI background checks and criminal records, as well as how to interpret these records.

The webinar recording will not be provided so be sure to join us live.
