About Linda
Biography
My practice is soley focused on immigration based cases. I have handled a variety of complex cases including but not limited to, citizenship, adjustment of status, extreme hardship waivers and removal defense before immigration court. I also have significant experience representing minors in state court for guardianship or custody petitions as they relate to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status. I previously worked as staff attorney with the nationally recognized non-profit organization, Kids in Need of Defense, KIND. Although I am now in private practice, I continue to support KIND’s efforts as a volunteer pro-bono attorney defending immigrant youth.
I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of California, Merced where I graduated with high honors. Throughout law school, I was honored with several Witkin Awards for academic excellence.
I am licensed in California and also admitted to practice in the Executive Office for Immigration Review (known as EOIR or immigration court) in all locations across the United States. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.

Amazing lawyer!
Linda was an amazing lawyer. She walked us through every single step of the way. She answered every single question we had and let us know how the process would take place.
