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.
