Founded by Emily Trostle, the firm is proudly woman- and LGBTQ-owned, offering a safe harbor for clients who often feel marginalized by the legal system. Trostle Law specializes exclusively in immigration defense, with a particular focus on helping those in detention and survivors of trauma.

Removal Defense and Asylum
The firm’s primary focus is representing individuals in immigration court. They handle high-stakes cases involving:
- Detained Representation: advocating for bond and release for clients held in ICE detention centers across Louisiana.
- Asylum: preparing detailed cases for individuals fleeing persecution based on race, religion, or membership in a particular social group.
- Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS): helping abused, abandoned, or neglected children obtain legal status.
- Humanitarian Visas: assisting victims of crimes (U Visa) and domestic violence (VAWA) in gaining protection.
A Community-Centered Approach
Trostle Law is deeply embedded in the New Orleans activist community. They work closely with local non-profits to ensure that clients have access to holistic support services beyond just legal representation. The entire staff is bilingual in English and Spanish, ensuring that communication barriers never stand in the way of justice. If you are looking to hire an attorney who understands the intersection of human rights and immigration law, Trostle Law is a fearless champion for the community.
We believe that no human being is illegal. Our practice is dedicated to dignity, respect, and the relentless pursuit of justice for our immigrant neighbors.
