Hello

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I am the son of immigrants, so I know the harsh realities clients face daily. As a kid, I saw how someone’s immigration status can affect many aspects of their life, which led me to practice immigration law. I have first-hand knowledge of how someone’s immigration status affects them and their whole family. It is my passion to help immigrants adjust their status in this country so they do not feel alienated or fear that they can subjected to deportation at any moment. I decided to go to law school to educate the community on their different options to get legal status in the country. Growing up, I saw my family split between two countries because of the border. Because of their legal status, family members know they may never see their brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and cousins in person again. My goal is to help everyone have an opportunity to be able to reconnect with their family members and feel safe in this country. 

 

I received my undergraduate degree in Sociology at California State University, Northridge. While in college, I learned how underrepresented the Latino population is in the legal field. That statistic motivated me to attend law school and help others do the same. I studied at the University of La Verne College of Law. While I attended the University of La Verne, I volunteered at the Immigration and Justice Immigration Clinic, where I helped refugees apply for asylum in Immigration Court. I was able to help immigrants get their asylum applications granted successfully. I am admitted to the State Bar of California. I have practiced at multiple immigration law firms and gained experience in all aspects of immigration law, such as USCIS and immigration court (EOIR). Besides practicing immigration law, my passion is educating, mentoring, and helping people reach their goals.
