What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values client service and offers growth in immigration law.

I am a dedicated bilingual Legal Assistant with extensive experience in both criminal and immigration law. My journey began at the Supreme Court of Justice, where I honed my skills in case preparation, document drafting, and understanding court procedures. Over the years, I have developed a strong focus on immigration law, handling a variety of cases including family petitions, adjustment of status, and naturalization processes. My commitment to providing professional, client-focused service has been a cornerstone of my career.

Throughout my professional experience, I have been recognized for my organizational efficiency and attention to detail. At the Law Offices of Manuel Solis, I prepared numerous immigration forms and managed complex cases, ensuring that clients received the highest standard of service. My ability to communicate effectively with clients in both English and Spanish has allowed me to build strong relationships and provide empathetic support during challenging times. I take pride in my problem-solving skills and my capacity to work collaboratively with attorneys and staff to achieve favorable outcomes for clients.
