I have practiced law for over 2 decades and am licensed to practice before the state and federal courts in Illinois. I am also able to practice immigration law in any other state within the United States. I have handled hundreds of different types of family-based immigration matters, successfully advocating on behalf of my clients primarily with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as well as the Department of State and U.S. consulates abroad. I have assisted thousands of clients in my many years as an attorney. I have presented and successfully argued hundreds of extreme hardship waivers of different types (unlawful presence, fraud, smuggling, criminal) with USCIS. I continue expanding my knowledge of immigration law and am an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. As the daughter of a Mexican immigrant and having personally experienced the immigration process from an immigrant’s perspective, I am extremely dedicated and committed to assisting the immigrant community in a compassionate and professional manner while providing quality legal representation. My father is the epitome of the American Dream and the reason I do what I do. He has worked so hard and made the most out of every opportunity presented to him. He is a prime example of the immigrant experience and how immigrants too can achieve the “American Dream.” I work hard and put my all into each and every case. I trust that my clients can see the dedication I put into each and every case that I deal with. The moral fulfillment I get from doing this job makes it all worthwhile.
