My name is Federico Malibago and I am an attorney based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota.  I was born and raised here in Minnesota, the son of Filipino immigrants.  The legal system can be complex and overwhelming, and this is often amplified when you are an immigrant.  It can be difficult to know who you can turn to for help, and what if anything you can do.  I became a lawyer, because I wanted to make sure that everyone, particularly immigrants and their families, have full and fair access to the legal system.  I want to let you know that you have a friend in the legal system.

Private attorney practicing exclusively U.S. Immigration Law.

My love for immigrants and diverse cultures started as a child when my family hosted exchange students from Guatemala, Mexico and France. As a 15 year old I was fortunate to travel to the former Soviet Union with an exchange program aimed at promoting peace through cultural understanding. That experience broadened my perspective and provided me with a global outlook that I carry with me to this day. In law school, I participated in an Asylum Law Project representing a young Honduran boy who was being deported. That experience solidified my commitment to immigration law. I have worked with many clients from around the world and truly enjoy learning about their lifestyle and culture. I couldn't ask for a better job.
