She also specializes in Waivers for individuals who are inadmissible due to prior deportations or unlawful presence.

Additionally, the firm represents clients in Naturalization proceedings, guiding permanent residents through the final step of their journey to citizenship.

Protecting the Vulnerable

A core mission of the firm is protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Dr. Maria assists with U Visas for victims of serious crimes and VAWA petitions for survivors of domestic abuse. She is also experienced in Deportation Defense, fighting to keep families together when they are facing separation by the government.
