The difference between a filed petition and a granted one is who prepared it.
Deportation defense, VAWA and U-Visa petitions, adjustment of status, naturalization, and employment-based residence. We represent clients through every immigration surface — in English and Spanish, with direct attorney contact.
Jump to a specific Immigration matter
Immigration — full scope.
Immigration law changes with every administration. We track USCIS policy memos, AAO decisions, and federal-court rulings so your filing reflects the law as of today — not last year's template.

Deadlines, evidence, and witness memory degrade fast. The first conversation is free.
Start Your ReviewYou received a Notice to Appear
This is the document that begins removal proceedings. The clock starts now.
Your visa petition was denied or RFE issued
Request For Evidence responses are deadline-driven. Missing the window costs the case.
A family member was detained by ICE
Bond hearings can happen fast. Counsel present changes the outcome.
You are a victim of domestic violence or a qualifying crime
VAWA and U-Visa relief exists precisely for this. Many eligible clients never learn they qualify.
You are eligible to naturalize but unsure about a past issue
Prior arrests, tax filings, or travel history can surface at the interview. We audit before you file.
You plan to invest in or open a U.S. business
E-2 and EB-5 require documentation most entrepreneurs don't have — we build it with you.
The measurable benefits of being represented.
Filing quality determines outcome
USCIS adjudication data shows that well-prepared petitions with clear evidentiary support are approved at substantially higher rates than minimal filings.
Immigration + criminal = one conversation
A guilty plea in criminal court can be a removal order by operation of law. We coordinate directly with criminal counsel to preserve immigration options.
Direct attorney, not a paralegal-only shop
Every filing is attorney-reviewed and attorney-signed. You meet the lawyer before the case opens.
What makes this our practice.
Every practice area is led by an attorney who actually litigates in that space — not a generalist borrowing time.
We process family-based, employment-based, humanitarian, and defense matters in one office.
We keep clients calm by showing the timeline up front — case steps, expected windows, and decision points.
We appear before EOIR immigration courts and USCIS field offices in Miami, Orlando, and Krome.
Spanish is our working language — not an accommodation.
Answers that cite the statute.
Will filing for status put me on ICE's radar?
Filings with USCIS are civil immigration proceedings. In most affirmative cases (adjustment, VAWA, naturalization) the benefit itself — if granted — protects you. Every case is assessed individually.
How long does a green card take?
It depends entirely on category. Immediate-relative (spouse of U.S. citizen) filings currently average 10–14 months. Employment-based categories vary from under a year to a decade depending on country of birth and priority date.
I was denied before. Can I re-file?
Often yes. Denials can be appealed, re-opened, or re-filed with stronger evidence. We review the prior denial letter at no cost.

“We were facing deportation and lost. Maria walked us through every filing. Today we are legal permanent residents.”
“The construction company denied everything. Gallardo's team had the medical records, site photos, and depositions lined up. We settled for more than double the original offer.”
