As an immigration attorney, my conviction is that everyone who has made a life in the U.S. by honest work, has contributed significantly to the economy of the U.S. and deserves to remain here. In my twelve years of experience, it has been immensely gratifying to help people remain in the U.S. after they have worked here, often started a family here, and established roots in a country they consider their home. As the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants, it gives me pride to help the immigrant community obtain legal status in the U.S. so that they can lead a life with confidence that they get to keep what they have worked for.After working at other firms as a supervising and managing attorney and serving as a clinical immigration instructor at my alma mater, Suffolk University Law School, I am now the owner and managing attorney at my own firm, focusing on removal defense and family petitions. My years of experience allow me to provide skilled legal analysis and court representation, and the ability to understand each client’s needs. It is important for me to make a real connection with my clients and get to know them on a more personal level so that they can trust me with their experiences and particular situations. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, exercising, and spending time outdoors. I have also taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to Latino adults.
