Our Approach

A clear strategy, built around your story.

  1. You tell us your story & goals.
  2. We identify the strategy to achieve your goals.
  3. We get to work.

Anyone can fill out a form. Only an immigration attorney can tell you whether it will work. A wrong filing can cost you years, or your whole case.

Honest Answers

We'll tell you if you qualify, what the risks are, how long it may take, and whether your case is worth filing.

An easy process

We guide you through every step of the process and keep you informed.

We understand your journey

We are all immigrants; we know what you're going through.

Meet Gilda McDowell

She did not read about the injustices immigrant workers face in a law school book.

She grew up hearing those stories from her brother, Gerardo.

No payment after weeks of work. Immigration threats when he asked to be paid. Funerals he could not attend.

She was a little girl when she promised him she would become the lawyer who could fix this.

“I did not just become an immigration lawyer. I became the person I once wished my brother had by his side.”

“Highly recommend McDowell law firm. Our family was very pleased with the entire process. There are several tasks during the process that needed to be completed on our own, but Gilda and her team were always available if we had any questions or with recommendations.”
