What Latino Lawyers Association Of Queens County does

The Latino Lawyers Association of Queens County (LLAQC) is a non-profit professional bar association founded on April 16, 1997, by Salvador Cheda, Jr., Esq., and headquartered at P.O. Box 751235, Forest Hills, NY. The organization's stated purpose is to promote the welfare and legal rights of the Latino community by advancing representation of Latino attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students in the legal profession and judiciary, principally in Queens County and the broader New York metropolitan area. The association operates a tiered membership program priced at $75/year for admitted attorneys and judges, $10/year for law graduates, and free for law students, augmented by mentorship, CLE programs, scholarships, and a recurring signature events portfolio including the Annual Gala Dinner Dance at Terrace on the Park, Spring Mixer, Hispanic Heritage Brunch, Judiciary Night, and CLE sessions.

The service portfolio spans five core products: a membership program; a bilingual Lawyer Referral Service (LRS) connecting Queens County residents with vetted attorneys across Family & Matrimonial, Personal Injury, Medical Malpractice, Criminal Defense, and Immigration practice areas (panel fees $395/year base plus $100 per additional area up to five; initial 30-minute consultation $35 or waived for qualifying case types); the Salvador Cheda Jr. Esq. Bar Study Scholarship; an online Job Board with filtering and email alerts; and the annual events program. The LLAQC maintains mutual partnerships with LALSA programs at eleven metro-area law schools (Cardozo, Brooklyn Law, CUNY, St. John's, Fordham, Hofstra, NYLS, Pace, Rutgers-Newark, Seton Hall, Touro), and sponsors approximately 15 law-firm annual sponsorships.

The business model is community-led, with revenue generated through membership dues (recurring annual), LRS panel fees (recurring annual), event ticket revenue, and event sponsorships. Go-to-market relies on word-of-mouth within the Latino legal community, networking events, law school LALSA partnerships, organic social media (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook), earned media in the New York Law Journal, and a bilingual English/Spanish website (latinolawyers.org). The organization does not operate proprietary technology; it has no APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML capabilities, and is governed by a volunteer Executive Board led by President Robert A. Miklos, Esq. (2025-2026 term).

• Metropolitan Black Bar Association: New York City bar association focused on Black legal professionals and judiciary representation; runs a similar membership, mentorship, judicial recognition, and CLE program structure as LLAQC.
• Dominican Bar Association: New York-based bar association representing Dominican-American attorneys; overlaps with LLAQC's mission of supporting Hispanic legal professionals and increasing minority representation in the judiciary.

Broad incumbents

• National Hispanic Bar Association: National umbrella organization for Hispanic bar associations; comparable mission of advancing Latino representation in the legal profession, but operates as a federated, multi-chapter body rather than a single local chapter.

Regional players

• Queens County Bar Association: The general, county-wide bar association serving all attorneys in Queens; competes for the same lawyer-members and sponsors but does not focus on Latino-specific advocacy or bilingual services.

Emerging players
