ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual lawyer with over a decade of experience in Immigration, Family, and Contract Law, combining rigorous legal expertise with compassionate client service. I have extensive U.S. immigration practice experience—preparing USCIS forms, managing humanitarian cases (U, T, VAWA, Asylum, SIJS), drafting motions and affidavits, and coordinating FOIA and evidentiary filings.
I have led litigation teams and directed asylum and juvenile immigration support, taken sworn statements in English and Spanish, and practiced civil and family litigation across Colombia and Spain. My work emphasizes meticulous case preparation, cross-border legal knowledge, and client-centered representation in high-stakes matters.
