I was born in Istanbul, Turkey of Armenian descent.  I immigrated to the United States in 1974, at the time just 4 months old.  I knew, from early in my legal training that I would be an immigration attorney.  In fact, it is all I specialize in.  Immigration law and more importantly, unpublished policy, changes so quickly that if an attorney does not focus their entire practice on immigration law, they will miss something.. On a personal note, I am married for 11 years and two wonderful boys ages 2 and 4.  I love representing my clients and learning about their cultures, business ventures and industry.

When I graduated from law school, I did not have plans to become an immigration lawyer. To be honest, I thought that if I practiced immigration, I would end up doing a lot of my mom’s relatives’ petitions in exchange for lumpia.. I have been doing immigration exclusively since 2005. I stumbled into my first immigration job as a result of a number of happy coincidences. A friend of mine forwarded me a job listing that she received from her law school classmate, who was trying to help out alums of his law school. So, when I showed up at the interview, one of the questions was “Hmmm, we were expecting a bunch of New York Law School grads, how did you get here?” I guess my answer didn’t blow them away; I didn’t get the job. They chose someone who went to NYLS after all. About a month later, though, I got a call from the firm: “Hey, um, it didn’t work out with the other lawyer. You still available?”. During that stint in New York City, I learned immigration law by sitting at my boss’s elbow. I shadowed him in immigration court and I observed his skill in court. Ed didn’t really like to write briefs and motions, so those tended to land on my desk. Turns out that writing briefs, motions, and appeals is an effective way of learning substantive immigration law. After about a year of observation, he sent me to my first court hearing by myself. When I initially panicked, he said something like “If you haven’t learned anything after watching me for a year, we’re in a heap of trouble.”. I have had the same mentor for over twenty years. He inscribed this story in a book he gave me for my college graduation:One day, I was walking down the beach just before dawn. In the distance, I saw an old man picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. As I approached the old man, I asked, “What are you doing?” The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun. And I exclaimed, “But there must be thousands of starfish. How can you possibly make any difference?” The old man picked up a starfish next to my feet and as he threw it to safety in the sea, he said, “I just made a difference to that one!”That mentor, by the way, happens to be the Fong in Fong & Aquino. (We go way way back.). There are many unhappy lawyers, but I am one of the lucky ones. I have found a field of law that I enjoy, and I love my clients. I like to think that I am the old man — helping make a difference to the thousands and thousands of immigrants in Los Angeles, one at a time. But I realize that it has been my clients who have touched me. It is they who have chosen me to entrust with their futures, their children’s futures.I live in Hacienda Heights with my beautiful wife, two wonderful kids, and a Jack Russell terrier / chihuahua mix.. Oh, the funny thing about my mom: she is one of my top five sources of client referrals. So, whether my mom sent you or you got here through a series of happy coincidences, I’d love to hear about your future in the United States and how I can be a part of it.

Practice Areas: Immigration

Charles Medina is a member of the New York, Washington State, and Philippine Bars, with a law practice that spans over 10 years. In the Seattle Area, we offer legal services mainly in immigration, estate planning and divorce. In other states, we offer exclusive legal services in immigration.. 1.   Immigration. Immigration services often involve either relief from removal or application for benefits. If you are in removal proceedings, we will help you fight removal by finding the best relief available to you. Our attorney, Charles Medina, litigates complex immigration cases before Immigration Courts across the U.S., the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Charles defends individuals who face removal due to past criminal offenses, immigration fraud, visa violations and other unlawful conduct.. If you are not in removal proceedings, we can help you apply for benefits with USCIS such as waivers of inadmissibility, reinstatement of student visa status, reinstatement of revoked petitions, and visas or green cards for investors, aliens of extraordinary ability, skilled workers, battered spouses, or family members.. 2.   Estate Planning. Estate planning is concerned with one main problem: what happens to one’s properties when one dies? Will there be taxes that need to be paid when these properties are transferred to the heirs or beneficiaries after a person dies? How does one minimize, or if possible, eliminate, taxes and probate costs so that their heirs will get the maximum value of these assets? How does one protect one’s assets from creditors? How does one protect the assets if the heirs have reckless spending habits? How does one make sure that one’s hard earned assets will be enjoyed by the one’s heirs and the next generation after?. Once you have identified your concerns, we will help you achieve your goals in the most effective way possible within the limits provided by law. We will examine with you all your options and help you understand which options would accomplish your objectives and why some options would not.. 3.   Divorce. Divorce is often something that no one planned or anticipated but when it becomes inevitable, divorce should be managed thoughtfully and carefully so that all parties involved can move on with their new lives. Sometimes, divorce is amicable and that makes the process easy for everyone.. However, when divorce is contested, you would need all the help you can get. We will help you navigate a complex process so that you can protect your rights and interests. When you do it alone, sometimes strong emotions prevent you from making thoughtful decisions. We will provide you with the objective and rational advice you need so that you can get the best possible outcome under your particular circumstances. When we represent you, we give you peace of mind and the confidence to survive a difficult process.

If you are in need of legal services in Southern California, give us a call for a free consultation over the phone or at our offices in West Covina, Ontario or Monrovia.. I attended the University of California Riverside and studied biochemistry. During that time, I discovered my love and passion for law. However, after graduating from UCR, I was not able to afford law school and viewed becoming a lawyer as a distant, impossible dream. Thus, life took me in a different direction: I started my own trucking company in 2011, hiring drivers, being personally involved with shop maintenance, and working hard around the clock. Then in 2015 my life became a nightmare. Freight rates hit a record low, and I found myself fighting for the life of my business. I was barely able to survive, at times literally counting pennies to see whether I could afford a morning cup of coffee, all the while working a grueling 60 hour work week, and not getting paid, myself. I was working just for the survival of my business. Throughout this entire odyssey, I never gave up on my dream of becoming an attorney, but going to law school seemed like an unattainable fantasy. Over the course of many difficult months, I managed to save my business, and it was at that point that I made the decision to go to law school, no matter what. I knew that the time was right for me to pursue my dream.. I attended law school at Pacific Coast University School of Law. I believed that this was my last opportunity to become a lawyer, and I was incredibly grateful for the chance. While attending law school, I worked a 40 hour work week and went to school at night. During that time, I helped many classmates who were struggling. I held weekend classes and also tutored individual students out of the kindness of my heart. I simply wanted us all to pass the program, which we did. I am proud to say that I finished at the top of my class as Valedictorian.. I then began to prepare to take the California bar exam, arguable one of the most difficult in the entire country. For four months I worked diligently to prepare, going to work at 5:00 am, working until 2:00 and then studying until 11:00 at night. Discipline at its finest. My hard work paid off, and I passed the bar exam the first time I took it, which is very unusual, as most people who take it fail the first time.. Why is this relevant? I know that I am an extremely disciplined, determined, hard working individual, and I will defend and fight for my clients with the same passion with which I pursued my dream.
