Every case is handled directly by Attorney De La Rosa — no hand-offs, no case mills. These are the areas where the firm concentrates its practice.
Full representation in deportation and removal proceedings before the immigration courts — including bond hearings, cancellation of removal, asylum and withholding claims, and appeals. If you or a loved one has been detained or received a Notice to Appear, time matters.
Defense against criminal charges with your whole future in mind — including misdemeanors such as DUIs, traffic matters, and felony cases. Because the firm practices on both sides of the line, every plea and outcome is evaluated for its immigration consequences before you agree to anything.
A past conviction shouldn't cost you your future in this country. The firm pursues motions to vacate, reduce, or reclassify convictions that carry immigration consequences — clearing the path for relief that would otherwise be out of reach. Post-conviction relief services are offered exclusively for convictions in the State of California.
Family-based petitions, adjustment of status, waivers of inadmissibility, employment authorization, and responses to Requests for Evidence — prepared thoroughly and filed right the first time.
Guidance through every stage of obtaining an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad — from the National Visa Center to the interview itself, including provisional unlawful presence waivers for family members.
Becoming a citizen is the final step of a long journey. The firm evaluates your eligibility, screens for hidden risks before you file, prepares your N-400, and stands beside you at your interview.
Timely, accurate renewals of DACA, permanent resident cards, and employment authorization documents — so a paperwork lapse never puts your status, your job, or your peace of mind at risk.
Attorney De La Rosa built her practice around a simple conviction: the people most affected by our immigration system deserve an advocate who understands both the law and the lives behind every case file.
Practicing at the crossroads of immigration and criminal defense, she brings a strategic, whole-picture approach — because a criminal case is never just a criminal case when someone's status is at stake, and an immigration case is never just paperwork when a family is waiting on the outcome.
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Your situation is unique — a consultation is the only way to get advice about your specific case.
We listen. You tell us your story, we review your immigration history and any criminal record, and we give you an honest assessment of your options, risks, and next steps — in English or Spanish. You leave knowing where you stand.
Act quickly. Contact our office right away with your family member's full name, date of birth, and A-number if you have it. We can help locate them, evaluate eligibility for bond, and begin building a defense. The earlier an attorney is involved, the more options exist.
Often, yes. Certain convictions can be vacated, reduced, or reclassified through post-conviction relief — and doing so can reopen immigration options that seemed lost. This is one of the firm's core specialties. Never assume a conviction is the end of the road until an attorney who understands both systems has reviewed it.
Everything you share with our office is protected by attorney–client confidentiality. We never report clients to immigration authorities. You can speak openly about your history — in fact, complete honesty is what allows us to protect you effectively.
Yes — renewals should be filed well before expiration, since processing delays can leave you without proof of status or work authorization. We track deadlines, file accurately, and screen for any issues in your history before submitting, so a routine renewal never turns into a problem.
Fees depend on the type and complexity of your case, and you'll know the full cost before any work begins — no surprises. Most matters are handled on a flat fee, and payment plans are available.
Bring whatever you have: any immigration paperwork or notices, your passport or ID, prior applications, and any criminal court records. Don't worry if documents are missing — we can help you obtain records. The most important thing you bring is your story.
Whether you're facing removal, planning your path to citizenship, or worried about how a conviction affects your status — the sooner we talk, the more options you have.
Submitting this form does not create an attorney–client relationship. Please do not include confidential or time-sensitive details; we will discuss your case fully during your consultation.
