About Caridad
Biography
I was born in New York City. My parents were both Cuban immigrants. My father was an asylee and my mother was a sponsored immigrant. My passion has always been to help those persons coming to the U.S. to navigate the complicated system and start a new life that will lead to better opportunities for themselves and their children.
I am honored to be a lawyer serving immigrants. I can't imagine doing anything else.

Best Lawyer
I hired this lawyer to go to court to get my citizenship done because it was taking too long. I did not even have to go to court and in 6 weeks, I got my swearing in notice. I now have my US passport and can visit my family overseas. I am so happy and would hire her again.

Incredible lawyer
I went to this attorney a few days before my deportation. She explained everything to me clearly. She always answered my emails. She reopened my case and now I have my green card. Something I thought never would happen. My family is so happy with her.
