also known as Byrd & Associates
As an immigration attorney practicing in California for nearly 20 years, I have been dedicated to helping the immigrant community, and have successfully solved immigration problems for thousands of people needing immigration help. My long-time practice covers all immigration matters, including both family immigration, deportation and asylum, and business immigration.
I am a long time member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, where I assumed leadership positions in the Santa Clara Valley Chapter. I have served as a liaison to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the San Francisco Asylum office of the Department of Homeland Security.
Because my interest in immigration and international law is so strong, I possess not only a general law degree but a Master's in International Law from the prestigious Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. While obtaining my Master's in International Law, I interned with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Washington, D.C., the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C. and COLEAD, a foreign affairs lobbying group in Washington, D.C. While at the U.S. State Department, I contributed to a draft brief to be submitted to the World Court on behalf of the United States Government.
All of my education and my positions cemented my desire to work in the immigration and international law field. I thouroughly enjoy helping people reach their immigration goals.

"I had the pleasure of being introduced to immigration law working with Beverly. I found her to be extremely detail-oriented, thorough and she demonstrates exceptional follow-through. Beverly truly cares about her clients and is a tenacious advocate. She is dedicated to making the best case possible and giving the most relevant advice. She is a highly accomplished immigration attorney whose broad experience in immigration law makes her an invaluable resource."
"Beverly maintains a highly ethical and professional law office. I had the opportunity to work with her on a number of adjustment of status cases. All of the cases (and clients) were well-prepared, and were approved."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Ms. Byrd for almost ten years. She is an outstanding attorney, knowledgeable and experienced in all aspects of immigration law. I refer clients to her for matters that I cannot handle, without hesitation. She is personable and friendly as well as professional, and the clients I have referred have had nothing but positive feedback regarding their experience with her."
"I have known Beverly for approximately 10 years. In all those years, I have found her to be highly professional and very knowledgeable in deportation/removal immigration matters, as well as general immigration matters. I have referred clients to Beverly, and knew they would be well represented. I have also conferred with Beverly on a number of cases, and always find her comments insightful and intelligent."
