As an immigration attorney, I have seen true despair in my clients' faces, and to be able to fix that and make the pain and worry go away with a positive outcome is an unbelievable feeling.  Only my three children can top that feeling!

I am the daughter of Filipino immigrants, and I grew up alongside my parents working in our ethnic grocery store, 12 hours a day, when I wasn't in school. It's no wonder I'm an immigration attorney today.  All of our grocery store customers were immigrants, and I witnessed first-hand their struggles. All I ever wanted to do since I was 8-years old was to be a lawyer to help my parents and to help the people around me.  I didn't know then that meant one day being an immigration lawyer, but I am so fortunate to be in one of the most rewarding areas of the legal profession.  

I started my law firm with my husband, John Gardner, over 15 years ago, and when you become a client, you also become part of our family at Gardner & Mendoza. 

We look forward to meeting you and serving you.
