Attorney Paula Cortés was born and raised in Colombia. She has over a decade of experience in the immigration field. Paula’s approach to immigration law advocacy will forever be shaped by her own experiences immigrating to this country and navigating the immigration system along with her family. Her first-hand experience as an immigrant gives Paula a special sensitivity when dealing with clients facing immigration issues and informs her understanding of a legal system that is dispassionate by design.
Before opening her firm, Paula worked for several boutique immigration law firms in the D.C. Metro area, where she worked in humanitarian, family and removal defense immigration cases, representing clients before the Arlington and Baltimore Immigration Courts as well before the Arlington Asylum Office. She obtained her juris doctor degree from The Washington College of Law at American University and her bachelor’s degree from the Florida International University. While in law school, Paula represented clients in removal proceedings as a student-attorney in the Immigrant Justice Clinic and acted as the co-president for the Immigrant Rights’ Coalition group. She is a native Spanish speaker.
Regardless of the immigration issue you face, a dedicated immigration attorney can work with you to promptly find a solution, one that is best suited to serve your needs and designed to make the process as painless as possible.
