"Luis is an outstanding attorney! His expertise in the immigration field is an added value to our community. He has been a crucial part in assisting me with my KEY employee obtaining his permanent status here in the United States. He has made the process smooth and has kept us very well informed at all times. I am especially impressed with the responsiveness that he and his team demonstrated."
- Sonia T.
My mother came from Mexico, and on my father’s side, my grandfather was also an immigrant. When I was young, I was treated differently because of my accent. And I watched as my mother was given a hard time by immigration officers, even though she was a lawful permanent resident.
As much as my background could be a source of stress in my life, it’s also a source of pride. It grounded me in values I still carry today: persistence, accountability, and the expectation that rules should apply the same way to everyone.
After law school, I wasn’t sure what kind of law to practice. I cut my teeth on personal injury law, where I learned how to use my law degree to stand up for people being treated unfairly by the system.
I also gained a reputation among my peers as an excellent Spanish-speaking attorney. From there, it was a natural step to move into immigration work.
After years helping Texans with employment-based immigration, our firm expanded into family immigration and eventually humanitarian immigration and deportation defense. Our goal was to develop a practice that facilitates collaboration between families, businesses, investors, and workers.

I’m proud of our work with employment-based immigration. Helping businesses invest in the Houston area promotes jobs, stability, and long-term community impact.
Today, our firm represents entrepreneurs, investors, employers, and families who value transparency and long-term thinking. Immigration is complex, and often slow, but careful planning can make all the difference.
Our role is to walk clients through the process from start to finish, anticipating problems before they arise and providing clarity and stability at every turn.
Outside of the office or the courtroom, I can mostly be found spending time with my kids, golfing, or hitting the gym. I never miss an Astros game, and I like to explore everything that Houston has to offer.
Watching Texas communities grow and thrive with the benefit of immigrant contributions fills me with satisfaction, because I know that our work in immigration law is partly responsible for that success.
And those are real consequences that I can be proud of.
