About Mariana

I focus my legal practice entirely on immigration law. My journey into this area began after working closely with immigrant communities in the fields of health, education, and community organizing. I started my legal career as a juvenile defense attorney with the Bronx Legal Aid Office in New York, and for over 15 years, I have continued to work in immigration law.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the City University of New York School of Law, and I hold a B.A. in Modern Languages from the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras, PR.

I am fluent in Spanish and maintain active membership in the North Carolina State Bar and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Honest about a weak case

Other lawyers wanted to take my money. They told me to wait six months and refile — and that's exactly what worked.

Got my H-1B approved on the first try

My company's in-house lawyer dropped the ball, this team picked it up two weeks before deadline and we still got an approval. Lifesavers.

DACA renewal turnaround was fast

Filed within a week of consult. Approved 3 months later.

VAWA approval — they treated me like family

Could not have done this without them. They listened, never judged, and got it done.

Filed my OPT before graduation

The university missed it. They jumped in and saved my status.

Frequently asked

A 30-minute video or phone call. We review your situation, identify the best path, outline timelines and costs, and answer your questions. You'll receive a written summary afterwards.

Most cases are flat-fee. Pricing depends on category and complexity, and is shared in writing before you retain.

Only the initial consultation is paid through Immigrantio (via Stripe checkout). Once you retain, the lawyer bills you directly — retainer, milestone or hourly fees go straight to the firm's own trust account. Immigrantio is not in the chain of custody for case payments.

Conversations on Immigrantio are end-to-end encrypted. For sensitive case documents and original evidence, you'll exchange those directly with the lawyer by their preferred secure method — Immigrantio doesn't store your case files.
