Military Discipline and Compassionate Immigrant Perspective

Firm founder José A. Pineda brings an extraordinary personal and professional journey to his practice. Having immigrated to the United States as a refugee, naturalized as an American citizen, and served honorably as a commissioned officer and flight commander in the United States Air Force, he understands the sacred promise of the American Dream firsthand. After earning his degree in computer science and graduating from SMU Dedman School of Law in 1996, he established his firm to defend immigrant rights. As dedicated family immigration lawyers and citizenship lawyers, he rejects mass-production casework in favor of thorough individual analysis. Clients looking to find an immigration lawyer benefit from direct access to an attorney who only accepts cases he knows he can win.
