I was born and raised in the United States; however I traces my roots and cultural identity to Ecuador and Italy from where my family immigrated. A daughter of an immigrant mother, I was always intrigued with people from other countries and cultures. I have traveled extensively throughout Latin America and Europe having spent summers in Italy and Venezuela where I worked in the legal department of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).
As an attorney, I have always practiced exclusively in the area of U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law. I believe it is a privilege to help immigrants achieve their dreams and goals to the enrichment of this country. As a lawyer, I believe that while I may not litigate for damages or monetary gain, she accomplishes something far greater and richer – helping businesses thrive, individuals obtain freedom or contribute to the American dream and reuniting families. Nothing could be more priceless – or more American.
Early in my career, I served at Catholic Charities of Orange County as the Director of Legal Services and Advocacy, and later at the Public Law Center where I developed the legal immigration services program. I am most proud of the work I have done pro bono on behalf of the poorest and most vulnerable immigrants including asylum seekers, trafficking victims and battered women and children.
I was responsible for spearheading the Orange County Bar Association’s INFO presentation on immigration, am a Past President of the Hispanic Bar Association of Orange County and serve on the District Attorney’s Hispanic Advisory Commission.

Lisa Ramirez helped me, and we ended up so over prepared for our case, that prosecution didn't even try to contest or oppose.

"I endorse Lisa as an attorney! She is great to work with and extremely knowledgeable regarding Immigration. Lisa is very passionate about what she does and would absolutely recommend her!"
"Lisa is an exceptional immigration attorney. I first met Lisa when representing a criminal defense client facing immigration consequences. I was so impressed with her expertise that I now refer Lisa all my clients that have potential immigration issues. I am not the only criminal defense attorney that values her expertise. The Orange County Criminal Bar Association recognized her talent by featuring her as a keynote speaker/lecturer for a legal training on the topic of the consequences of criminal convictions on immigration status. Lisa is a true expert in the field and I endorse her fully and without reservation."
"It is a huge honor and privilege to work alongside Lisa Ramirez and the team at U.S. Immigration Law Group, LLP. Lisa offers colleagues and clients a unique level of care and compassion that is telling of the person and the advocate that she is. I am fortunate to have Lisa as a mentor and a friend."
