Our History

Amigos en Cristo

In 1997, the Southwest Florida Circuit of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod called Rev. Robert V. Selle  to do outreach to the growing Spanish speaking community. Their  goal was to plant new Spanish speaking  churches and help their churches do effective outreach to the nations coming to us. The Bible teaches to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19). The churches recognized that the nations were coming to us, and to go to them was to simply reach out to the community around us.

Amigos Center

In 1999, the Amigos Center was founded in order to be God’s hands and feet by attending to the physical, mental, and emotional needs that many immigrant families face. The first center was a store front in Bonita Springs, doing case management. Soon the outreach branched out to offer legal Immigration services. What started with three part time employees and one location has now grown to span two counties, having offices in Naples, Estero, Fort Myers, and Immokalee.

All donations are tax deductible.

Make A Qualified Charitable Distribution

A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met. In addition to the benefits of giving to charity, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare. Please call us for more information.

By Phone

To make a donation over the phone, you can call us at 239-437-6727.

ABOUT US

Our practice includes several areas of immigration law.  We have a heavy focus on family-based cases, where a U.S. citizen, Legal Permanent Resident, or Asylee petition the government to bring a close family member to the United States.  We also help clients become U.S. citizens after they’ve been a legal permanent resident for a certain amount of years.  We dedicate about one quarter of our practice to the service of immigrant victims of crime.  And, we help clients who apply for temporary status’ and renew frequently, such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA or Dreamers).
