About Zoraida
Biography
My work focuses on humanitarian and family-based immigration, removal defense and complex post-denial remedies such as appeals and motions to reopen. I’ve represented clients from Latin America, South Asia, and Africa. A former elementary school teacher, I’m known for clear, practical guidance and ethical, meticulous advocacy.
I’m an attorney admitted in New York and Puerto Rico. I lead Cruz Torres Legal Services PLLC, a primarily virtual practice that represents clients nationwide in immigration court. Born and raised in Brooklyn, I now serve clients seamlessly from Puerto Rico, New York, and East Africa.
I earned my J.D. (2018) and B.A. in Philosophy (2013), both magna cum laude, from the University of Puerto Rico. I’m active in AILA (NY & PR Chapters), the New York State Bar Association, El Colegio de Abogados de Puerto Rico, and the National Immigration Project (NIPNLG). I serve clients in English and Spanish.
