Temitope Christianah Awoyode

I’m Temi Awoyode-Adu, though most of my clients simply call me Temi. I am an Immigration and Estate Planning Attorney—and more than that, someone who has personally walked the path many of my clients now face. Over a decade ago, I was told I had no viable options to remain in the U.S. After paying for legal advice and receiving no meaningful follow-up, I chose to fight for myself. Armed with a legal education from UC Berkeley and the University of Ibadan, I successfully secured my legal status—representing myself every step of the way. That journey ignited the passion that now powers my work at Alpha Bloom Law. Today, I’m proud to lead a firm that is known for: Strategic extraordinary ability visa representation (EB1A and O-1) Complex waivers and humanitarian petitions (VAWA, U-visas, T-visas) Family-based immigration And estate planning services tailored to immigrant families and parents with minor children Clients value my precision, empathy, and proven track record of success. Whether you're a professional seeking to document your acclaim or a family protecting your legacy, I bring both legal skill and lived experience to every case. I am licensed in New York, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., and have been honored with: 10 Best Attorneys – Client Satisfaction (2019) Top 40 Under 40 Black Attorney (2020) Top-Ranked Immigration Attorney (2022) Multiple Avvo Clients’ Choice Awards What clients remember most, however, is how deeply I listen and how fiercely I advocate. I also remain committed to giving back, especially through work that supports children from single-parent households in Nigeria—a cause close to my heart. Choosing me means gaining more than a lawyer—you gain a strategic partner, a compassionate guide, and an advocate who will walk this journey with you from start to finish.
