About Sofia
Biography
In my legal practice, I focus on immigration, personal injury, and civil litigation. My work includes representing clients in front of institutions such as USCIS, ICE, CBP, the Board of Immigration Appeals, AAO, and the Department of Labor, along with handling cases in Illinois state and federal courts, thanks to my role in the federal trial bar of the Northern District of Illinois.
Our law firm is particularly attentive to personal injury cases, especially for immigrant clients. We handle a diverse range of personal injury matters, including dog bites, car accidents, and truck accidents, offering dedicated representation to those who have been injured. Our goal is to secure fair compensation for our clients, assisting them with medical costs, lost wages, and other related damages. We are committed to providing comprehensive legal support, guiding our clients through the intricacies of personal injury law to ensure they receive the justice and recovery they deserve.

Very good lawyer.
