Questions families ask before the first meeting

Yes. I grew up speaking Spanish at home and hold every consultation in Spanish or English, whichever you prefer. Letters and checklists go to each family member in the language they read best.

No. I’m a licensed lawyer. In the United States a notary public can only witness signatures; they can’t give immigration advice or file a case. Ask anyone who offers to help for their bar number.

I’ll tell you the consultation fee when you book. If you hire me, you get the full fee for the case in writing before you sign anything.

Yes. Many families meet with me by video the first time and come to the office later to sign.

Every letter from immigration or the court, passports, any ID or work permit, and a list of each time you entered or left the country, with dates as close as you remember.

Call the office at any hour; after hours, detention calls forward to me. Have the person’s full name, date of birth and A-number ready.

Yes, once we’re talking about your case as lawyer and client. Please don’t send case details through the website form; we’ll go over them in person or by phone.

Immigration law is federal, so I can help families wherever they live, and I appear in immigration courts across Southern California. Most of my clients live in Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside counties.
