Los Angeles Immigration Attorney Juliana Garcia

    An immigration notice can disrupt work, school, and family life. If you live in Los Angeles County, an experienced immigration attorney can help you understand what it means without first making a trip across the county. Juliana Garcia Law Professional Corporation serves clients throughout the county by phone, video, and appointments at our Long Beach office.

    Our office is at 235 E. Broadway, Suite 608, Long Beach, CA 90802. We do not have a Los Angeles office. Attorney Juliana is bilingual and the daughter of Mexican immigrants. She brings more than 13 years of experience in Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal appeals to her review of your situation.

    Who we serve across Los Angeles County

    Your neighborhood does not determine your immigration options. Your history, court records, and family circumstances matter. We work with people throughout the county, including:

    • Residents who received a Notice to Appear and need to understand a case in a Los Angeles-area immigration court.
    • Families trying to help a loved one detained by ICE, including someone transferred away from Los Angeles County.
    • People afraid to return to their home country who want an assessment of possible asylum protection.
    • People with a judge's decision who need prompt review of possible appeal options and deadlines.
    • Parents, workers, and students who need phone or video appointments rather than travel to Long Beach.

    You do not need to know which application to request before speaking with us. Bring the notices you have, even if your records are incomplete.

    Understanding your Los Angeles-area court case

    Los Angeles-area immigration courts handle removal cases, but a USCIS appointment and a court hearing are different events. Read the agency name, hearing instructions, and date on each notice. Do not assume a pending application cancels a hearing or changes where you must appear.

    For deportation defense, we review the Notice to Appear, prior orders, and available records. We explain possible defenses and what evidence may be needed. If you move within the county, ask about address updates with both the court and immigration agencies; updating one may not update the others.

    When a Los Angeles resident is detained in Adelanto

    Many detained Los Angeles-area residents are held at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in San Bernardino County. Detention there does not mean the facility is in Los Angeles County. Transfers can also change where a person is held, so confirm the current location before making travel plans.

    If you contact us about a detained relative, share their full name, country of birth, A-number if available, and any hearing notices. We can assess the immigration case and whether a custody-related request may be available. Release is not available in every case, and detention does not pause court deadlines.

    Protection claims and decisions that need review

    Los Angeles is home to people whose safety concerns began far beyond California. An asylum assessment looks at what happened, why you were targeted, and what you fear now. Filing deadlines and past immigration history matter, so do not wait until every supporting document is ready to ask about your options.

    If a judge has already ruled, appeals require a different review from a new application. Keep the written decision and the envelope or delivery information. An appeal is not simply another chance to submit the same story; the record and the legal issues shape the available arguments.

    Working with us from your part of the county

    1. Arrange a consultation

      Book a paid $60 consultation by phone, video, or at our Long Beach office. Tell us right away about detention, a hearing, or a recent decision.

    2. Share your notices

      Provide readable copies of court papers and immigration decisions. Include every page so we can identify the agency, case posture, and dates that need attention.

    3. Discuss a practical plan

      Juliana personally reviews your case and explains possible options, limits, and needed evidence. You can ask questions in English or Spanish before deciding whether to hire the firm.

    4. Confirm representation and preparation

      If we move forward together, we define the work covered by the agreement. We discuss payment plans, document collection, and preparation for the relevant filing or hearing.

    5. Stay ready for the next event

      Keep your contact information current and review new notices with us. We clarify appearance instructions; a remote attorney appointment does not make your court hearing remote.

    Clear communication without unnecessary travel

    Traffic and family responsibilities can make even a nearby appointment difficult. Phone and video meetings allow you to discuss sensitive questions from a suitable private place. If an in-person meeting makes sense, it takes place at our Long Beach office, not at a separate Los Angeles address. Many Los Angeles families choose an immigration lawyer they can reach easily by phone or video, without losing a day of work.

    We help organize the facts, identify missing records, and explain the purpose of requested evidence. You receive an honest discussion of possible paths, not a prediction of a result. Let us know about language needs, access to documents, or a detained family member when scheduling.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need to travel to Long Beach for my first meeting?

    No. You can schedule your $60 consultation by phone or video. Some matters may call for additional preparation or an appearance, which we discuss separately.

    Can you review a notice from a Los Angeles-area immigration court?

    Yes. Send the full notice, not only the hearing date. We need to see the court information and case details before discussing representation and the next steps.

    My relative was taken to Adelanto. Can I contact you from Los Angeles?

    Yes. You can contact us remotely. Tell us where your relative is currently held and share available documents. We assess the case without assuming that a bond hearing or release is possible.

    Should I wait to call until I have my complete court file?

    No. A hearing or appeal deadline may require attention before records arrive. Share what you have and identify what is missing so we can discuss how to proceed.
