I focus my law practice on helping immigrants to understand the complicated United States immigration system. I represent immigrants when they would like to apply for benefits before the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, when they are arrested by Immigration & Customs Enforcement, and when they must go to Immigration Court. I believe strongly that all immigrants deserve to have an attorney who will really listen to their problems and will offer honest and accurate legal advice.

Before opening Schwamkrug, Freshwater, & Lopez, PLLC, I directed a special program to help detained immigrants at a non-profit organization. As part of this program, I represented immigrants in many different kinds of cases, and I also trained volunteer attorneys to help immigrants.
