About Jose
Biography
José Caetano is from São Paulo, Brazil and enjoys going back as often as he can. He is a graduate of the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder, Colorado. A former prosecutor and an immigrant himself to the U.S., he has a great understanding of the fears and concerns of being accused with criminal and/or immigration charges in this country. His mission is to inform his clients and achieve the best possible outcomes for them. He is a native speaker of Portuguese and is fluent in Spanish. He enjoys taking advantage of all the wonderful outdoor activities Colorado has to offer including hiking, snowboarding, and kayaking. Like all good Brazilians, his love of "futebol" runs deep, and he is an avid supporter of the Brazilian national football team. Give us a call today about immigration or criminal cases!
