Background: As the son of two Immigrants from Jalisco, Mexico, immigration has always been of particular interest to Carlos. He was born and raised in southern California in a traditional Catholic family where he helped to support his family by working alongside them in his family’s gardening business. From a young age he was introduced to the concept of immigration law when he learned that many of his family members could not cross between the United States and Mexico as easily as he could. This concept triggered a lifelong interest in the United States’s immigration policies and a desire to help individuals who, like his family, seek peaceful and productive lives here in the United States. he completed his Undergraduate education at Cerritos Community College and the University of California, Irvine. He received his B.A. in Criminology, Law and Society, with a minor in Political Science in 2009. He earned his J.D. at the University of Utah in 2013.
Experience: While studying law at the University of Utah, Carlos took part in a number of unique educational experiences. He clerked for the Federal Defender’s Office for the State of Utah – Appellate Division, and the Executive Office for Immigration Review under Judges Nixon and Pead. Throughout law school Carlos also participated in the Immigration and Family law clinics, generated over 150 Hours of pro bono service. In addition, his professional experience includes working for the law firm of Ishola-Tarin, PLLC for nearly 3 years, between May 2012 and April 2014. At Ishola-Tarin he had the unique benefit of learning from and directly assisting the managing partners, Hakeem Ishola and Aaron Tarin, in their various areas of immigration and criminal practice.
