As a Venezuelan-American immigration attorney, I bring a deeply personal understanding of the challenges faced by immigrants navigating the complex U.S. immigration system. My journey—from client relations to law school, and eventually to practicing law—has uniquely shaped my commitment to helping others achieve their American dream. Starting my legal career in 2017 as a client relations specialist in a family law firm, this helped me built a solid foundation of the American legal system. I honed my skills at this firm for three years before transitioning to a role as a paralegal at a probate, guardianship, and estate planning firm. Along the way, I was navigating my own immigration process, which fueled my passion to pursue a career in this area of law. After securing my residency, I returned to law school at Florida International University (FIU), where I earned my Master of Laws (LL.M.). During my studies, I had the honor of participating in the FIU Immigration Clinic and co-founding Proyecto Libertadores, an initiative that helped over 800 Venezuelans apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). My leadership and advocacy in this area earned me the prestigious Honors for Leadership on Behalf of Justice. In my legal practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with one of the nation’s largest immigration law firms, where I handled a diverse range of cases, including family petitions, U visas, VAWAs, asylum applications, deferred actions, and waivers. In February 2025, I joined Lovo & Vega, a boutique firm dedicated solely to immigration matters, where I personally conduct consultations, offering tailored, compassionate support to each client. I proudly serve clients throughout Florida and across all 50 states, providing services in both Spanish and English. To schedule a consultation with me, call my office at 305-441-1994.
