Essien Law Firm Phoenix, AZ

An Immigrant Fighting for Immigrants: Essien Law Firm

There is a profound difference between knowing the law and living it. Essien Law Firm is a premier immigration practice in Phoenix, Arizona, founded by Principal Attorney Lelia Adams. As an immigrant herself who came to the U.S. via the Diversity Visa Lottery, Lelia understands the anxiety and hope that defines the immigrant experience. Her passion for law was ignited by a personal tragedy-the deportation of her own mother due to bad legal advice. Lelia became a lawyer with a singular mission: to bring her mother back (which she did!) and to ensure that no other family suffers the same fate. Established in 2018, Essien Law Firm operates with the motto ‘An Immigrant Fighting for Immigrants.’ If you are looking to find a lawyer who will treat your case with the same dedication she gave her own family, Essien Law Firm is the advocate you have been praying for.

Personalized Immigration Services

We specialize exclusively in immigration law, offering tailored strategies for complex cases.

• Deportation Defense: We stand as a firewall between you and removal. We represent clients in bond hearings and removal proceedings, fighting for asylum, cancellation of removal, and other forms of relief.
• VAWA & Humanitarian Visas: We have a special focus on helping survivors of domestic violence and crime. If you are being abused by a U.S. citizen spouse or parent, we can help you self-petition for a Green Card under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) without your abuser’s knowledge.
• Family Petitions: We assist in reuniting families through I-130 petitions, fiancé visas, and consular processing. We handle the paperwork and the interviews so you can focus on your future.
• Employment & Student Visas: We help talented individuals and students navigate the visa system to work and study in the United States.
