About Hector
Biography
Attorney Hector Gonzalez is admitted and licensed in the states of Texas, Connecticut and Wisconsin. Since 2005, he practices deportation defense, family-based immigration, and naturalization. He is a former DHS ICE trial attorney. Attorney Gonzalez's immigrant background fuels his passion for his immigration law practice. His ancestors immigrated from the Canary Islands, Spain in the 1800s. His family settled in Puerto Rico, then a Spanish colony. His ancestors became United States citizens after an act of Congress. As a fourth-generation immigrant to the United States, Attorney Gonzalez vigorously and zealously represents respondents in EOIR immigration court proceedings. He strategically and effectively assists petitioners and beneficiaries with immigration matters before USCIS and USDOS. Attorney Gonzalez speaks, reads, and writes Spanish fluently.
