Who We Are
Immigrants First, PLLC started in 2007 to defend the rights and dignity of immigrants and to create a pathway to legal status, safety and security. We are experts in what we do and have successfully represented hundreds of immigrants and their families in removal defense, asylum, adjustment of status, humanitarian and naturalization cases.
Our team practices immigration law because helping foreign nationals and their families achieve their American dream is the best way for us to fulfill our dream and purpose to be of service in the world and to humanity.
Our Approach
Our approach is to provide a comprehensive presentation of our clients’ cases with detailed statements, research, and legal briefs to immigration adjudicators; often times we win cases based on our written submissions without the need for a full hearing. We are trained and experienced in trauma-based client care and our holistic, client-centered approach creates winning cases and positive transformation in the lives of our clients.
Our Community
Our work goes beyond client representation. We have been on the front lines providing information to thousands of people in our community about immigration law, “Know Your Rights,” and emergency safety planning. We volunteer with immigrant rights nonprofits, teach at universities, and advise local and national government leaders on policy issues, including testifying before Congress. When crisis hits, we are there volunteering our expertise, including at border detention centers to help detainees get released on bond and unite with their families.
Our Mission
Excellence in service to the rights, dignity and security of immigrants is our mission. We understand that the success of our work dramatically impacts every part of our clients’ lives. Whether we are reuniting family members, preventing the deportation of a father, or getting a green card for an international aid worker, we undertake our work as seriously as we would representing our own family members. We are strong and zealous advocates for our clients’ rights under United States immigration law.
