Practice Areas: Immigration

I was raised in Central Mexico until I was 17 when I returned to United States to attend a University. I also lived in El Salvador and visited Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras. I was involved in providing clothing, food and medical care to orphaned youths and underprivileged people in several countries. The focus of my legal practice is to provide assistance and access to Justice for the Spanish-Speaking people of the Southwest of the United States. My office is located in Albuquerque, NM but I frequently travel to Texas and other parts of NM to provide legal assistance to more rural areas that don't have local attorneys. I strive to fight for those who are disenfranchised and those who feel that they do not have access to the legal system; and I help them see that they too can have Justice.
