GREATEST PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Founding my law firm in 2014. During the course of my career, I have come to appreciate that the field of immigration law is both a diverse and bewildering landscape. The generalized narrative that is portrayed in our daily news-cycle does a disservice to the personal journeys and qualities of our local immigrant community. Pasadena in particular is home to many foreignnationals who run local businesses, are talented artists, work at local companies, and teach at our local institutions. Whether it is reuniting loved ones or helping an applicant achieve that illusive work visa, it is a tremendous honor to be entrusted with such an important endeavor.

FREE ADVICE

Failure to plan is planning to fail. It is imperative that international students plan ahead for post-graduation work visa options. Whether it is interviewing with potential H1B sponsors or building your resume for an O1 artist visa, clients that plan ahead give themselves the best chance at success!

We’re With You
Every Step of the Way

As many have come to discover, navigating the world of immigration law is a complicated endeavor. Even worse, quality representation is hard to find. As a result, many people are confused by the immigration process, paying money with the hope that their lawyer is fighting hard for them.

My office was established because I believe clients deserve better. Specifically, clients deserve transparency in all aspects of their case; high-quality representation; and access to their attorney at all times.

The old way of doing business in the field of immigration law is not what we’re interested in. As such, I do everything I can to provide efficient, high-quality, and transparent representation for all my clients. My office makes the process easy for you and we strive to make the process as stress-free and as rewarding as possible.

testimonials

I started working with him in March, if I remember correctly, and by the end of April we sent the application. It's now mid-May and I got approved this week! I HIGHLY recommend Ruben to all of my friends and anyone who needs a good immigration attorney for a reasonable fee. Honestly, I still can't believe it all worked out! Thanks Ruben!

ANDREE-ANN D.
Ruben was hired to take care of my RFE on my O1 visa that had been denied once already. A couple of months later it got approved. I am therefore very thankful to him.

FLO
Not only did Ruben take the time to listen, he was the first lawyer that believed in me, trusted me, and made me feel at ease.

CARMEN S.
I was in contact with several attorneys during my O-1 visa process, no one made a better impression than Ruben. He will engage completely and make sure your case is as strong as it can be.

MONA
I worked with a different attorney before I switched to Ruben, I am happy I made that decision.
