The people on your case

Marisol grew up in Pilsen translating letters from immigration offices for her parents at the kitchen table. She started the firm in 2012 so families would have a lawyer who explains every step in the language they think in.

She leads the firm's waiver work and reads every hardship file before it is filed. Clients say she is the calmest person in the room at an interview.

Erik spent six years at a legal aid clinic before joining Marisol in 2016. He is the one who pulls old court records and reads them line by line before a citizenship filing.

He runs the firm's free citizenship question nights a few times a year, in partnership with neighborhood libraries.

Grace prepares couples for marriage and fiancé interviews. Her practice sessions are known for being thorough and surprisingly relaxed.

Before law school she worked as a caseworker for a refugee resettlement office, which is where she learned to keep a file perfectly in order.
