About Gilda
Biography
You should not have to guess whether your family has a legal path forward.
Gilda McDowell is an immigration attorney in Lubbock, Texas, and an immigrant from Mexico. She went through the process herself, in Spanish, with no one explaining what came next. That experience is why this firm is built the way it is.
We help Spanish-speaking immigrant families secure their status with trusted guidance, clear steps, and peace of mind. Family petitions, adjustment of status, fiancé visas, waivers, VAWA, and citizenship. Everything in English and Spanish, from the first conversation to the final decision.
We review your full history before anything is filed. If the timing is wrong, we say so. If a case is not ready, we tell you that too, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.
Texas-licensed since 2009. Lubbock and West Texas.
