I believe the practice of law is more than a profession, it is an opportunity to advocate and bring resolution and understanding at the worst and sometimes best times in a person's life. I am guided by my faith aa a Christian andmy love of justice and equality. As an immigrant who grew up in South Florida, I pride myself in understanding the richness of the cultural diversity America has to offer. I strive to strengthen America one immigrant at a time by offering practical ways to immigrate lawfully to the United States. In addition, I understand the delicate nature of ending a relationship especially where children and property are involved and offer sensitivity and an appreciation for the nuances of family court keeping in mind the best interests of the children involved. While life is not always fair or predictable, I encourage clients to establish and maintain necessary paperwork to facilitate the most difficult and life altering events and support their decisions by offering information and a method to simple and moderate estate planning.. While we live in a litigious society, disputes don't and should not always end in court. It is more civil and a demonstration of maturity to engage in dialogue and work through our problems, even with difficult people. I am passionate about and encourage mediation because it offers more control over the outcome than does the volatile unpredictable nature of court. I  encourage all who have not considered mediation as a first option, to make it a viable and reasonable first and sometimes last  resort as an alternative to the expensive and anxiety producing court process. Compromise is better than sacrifice anyday.

Michael Mendez, is a partner at the immigration law firm of Colombo & Hurd, PL., where he leads the firm’s deportation defense practice in cases involving Requests for Asylum, Withholding of Removal, Cancellation of Removal and Waivers of Grounds of Removability.  Since Mr. Mendez worked for the Public Defender’s Office of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, where he obtained valuable skills with regard to criminal defense law, Mr. Mendez specifically has an abundant amount of experience concerning immigration cases involving criminal matters.  Throughout his years of practice, Mr. Mendez has had the privilege to successfully litigate deportation cases throughout the state of Florida and the United States.  He has notably won deportation cases before all currently presiding Immigration Judges in Orlando, Florida.  Mr. Mendez believes that in life sometimes we make bad choices; however, we all deserve a second chance no matter where we come from.  Such is the case of one of Mr. Mendez’s clients who had a 20 year old drug conviction, which made him deportable.  Other attorneys had told his client he did not have a winnable case; however, Mr. Mendez carefully reviewed the case and found a way to avoid his deportation.. Mr. Mendez is equally qualified to represent clients in appeals and other immigration matters such as family based petitions, fiancé visas, naturalizations, and adjustment petitions.  Mr. Mendez will go to any length to try and obtain the best results for his clients, including international travel.  Mr. Mendez once had a visa case he was handling where his client had been denied a visa four consecutive times in Mexico.  He personally traveled to Guadalajara, Mexico and persistently advocated for his client resulting in the granting of her visa after years of failed attempts.. Mr. Mendez’s fluency in Spanish and his experience with not only the Immigration Court, but also immigration enforcement authorities such as Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs & Border Protection (CBP) and ICE Investigations Unit has resulted in the successful representation of clients while being investigated by the foregoing authorities.. Mr. Mendez was born in Queens, N.Y. of parents who migrated from the Dominican Republic.  Throughout his youth he witnessed the struggles his parents made to remain in this country and achieve the American dream.  Seeing his immediate and extended family go through complications with the immigration process has provided Mr. Mendez with the ability to relate to his clients on a personal level.  Aside from other speaking engagements, Mr. Mendez had the honor of serving as a panelist at the Florida College of Advanced Judicial Studies Conference, where he educated judges throughout the state of Florida on the legal technicalities of U.S. immigration law.
