Comprehensive and Strategic Legal Services

The Law Office of Francis R. Henriquez, INC. strategically focuses on several critical practice areas to offer the most effective representation possible:

• Immigration Lawyers: Navigating the United States immigration system can be one of the most daunting experiences of a person's life. We offer comprehensive immigration services, including family-based petitions, adjustments of status, naturalization and citizenship applications, DACA renewals, and complex I-601A waivers. If you want to order a lawyer consultation to explore your immigration options, we are ready to assist.
• Deportation Defense Lawyers: Facing removal proceedings is a terrifying ordeal. If you or a beloved family member is detained or facing deportation, you urgently need a lawyer. We fight aggressively and tirelessly in immigration court to protect your fundamental right to remain in the United States, utilizing strategies such as cancellation of removal, asylum, and voluntary departure when appropriate.
• Criminal Defense Lawyers: A criminal charge can jeopardize not only your freedom and your permanent record but also your immigration status. The intersection of criminal and immigration law (often referred to as 'crimmigration') requires profound expertise. We vigorously defend clients facing DUIs, drug crimes, theft, and domestic violence charges with a powerhouse defense strategy. We meticulously analyze every detail of the prosecution's case to secure the best possible outcome.
• Family Immigration Lawyers: Family unity is the cornerstone of our society. We help reunite separated families by expertly guiding them through the intricate and heavily bureaucratic processes of obtaining visas, permanent residency (Green Cards), and navigating consular processing. Our goal is to bring your loved ones home.

We are immensely proud partners with numerous esteemed community organizations, including the WLCAC Family Source Center in Los Angeles, the Whittier Area Chamber of Commerce, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (Southern California Chapter), and the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA). 🌍 Attorney Henriquez's dedication extends far beyond the four walls of the courtroom; she frequently volunteers for non-profit organizations such as KIND (Kids in Need of Defense), assisting unaccompanied immigrant children, and Esperanza Legal Rights, supporting the greater Los Angeles immigrant community. We are not just your legal representatives; we are your neighbors and your staunch advocates.
