The Story Behind the Firm: Angel and Juan
Before Angel founded a firm dedicated to fighting for clients across the country, she had to fight for her husband, Juan, and secure her family’s future in the United States. Juan is originally from Costa Rica and came to the United States without authorization when he was very young. After they met and fell in love, they consulted numerous immigration lawyers who gave them the same answer: because of Juan’s immigration history, he could not obtain legal status.
One day, Juan was arrested in front of his young son for no reason other than his Latino background, and deportation seemed inevitable. That was the breaking point for Angel. She refused to wait years for immigration reform and decided to take on the case herself. Angel not only studied immigration law and fought to resolve her husband’s immigration status, but she also discovered what would become a lifelong mission: keeping families together.

What Type of Immigration Relief Could Be Available in Your Situation?
VAWA Guidance for Riverside Residents
Some people live in relationships where they feel controlled, intimidated, or unsafe without realizing that immigration law may offer protection.
VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) allows certain individuals to seek legal status independently based on problems within a qualifying relationship, without depending on the person causing harm.
Situations that may qualify include:
- Financial control or restriction
- Threats related to immigration status
- Isolation from family or friends
- Emotional mistreatment or intimidation
Many people hesitate to seek help because of concerns such as:
- “What if I am divorced or separated?”
- “Will the other person find out?”
- “Do I need a police report?”
In many cases, you may still qualify even if you are no longer in the relationship. Regardless of your situation, the process is completely confidential and a police report is not required. Our team prioritizes care, privacy, and a clear strategy.
Call us to learn whether you may qualify for VAWA.
T Visa Help for Riverside Residents Facing Exploitation or Risk
Unfortunately, we hear many stories from people who find themselves in situations where they are controlled, pressured, or exploited. The T Visa is specifically designed for individuals who have experienced certain types of exploitation, such as:
- Forced labor or unfair payment
- Threats or coercion at home or at work
- Withholding of documents
- Feeling unable to leave a job or living situation
- Control by an employer, recruiter, or household member
T Visa cases are designed to provide protection and greater independence through work authorization and a possible path toward permanent legal status.
A T Visa attorney could help determine whether your situation meets the eligibility requirements.
U Visa Options for Riverside Residents Who Have Been Victims of Crime
If you have been the victim of a serious crime in the United States, you may qualify for immigration relief through the U Visa, even if you have negative factors in your immigration history.
If you reported a crime or cooperated with officials—even in a limited way—you may have options under the U Visa.
We approach these cases with sensitivity and respect. Our team serving Riverside clients can help you:
- Determine whether your experience may qualify
- Navigate the certification process with local agencies in Riverside and the Inland Empire
- Gather the documentation needed to support your case
We also manage direct communication with officials to obtain the corresponding certifications on your behalf.
Deportation Defense for Riverside and Southern California Clients
If you have received a Notice to Appear (NTA), it is important to act quickly. An NTA means the government has started removal proceedings against you, but you may still have options to defend yourself. A deportation defense legal team serving Riverside clients may be able to explore alternatives such as asylum, cancellation of removal, and protection through pending humanitarian immigration cases.
Our court representation services also include support with:
- Missed or rescheduled hearings
- Detention-related situations
- Prior deportation orders
Court cases for Riverside residents are generally handled by the Santa Ana Immigration Court (1241 E. Dyer Road, Suite 200, Santa Ana, CA 92705) or the Los Angeles Immigration Court (N. Los Angeles St.). Each court has its own procedures, so having legal representation with experience in these processes is essential.
Our goal is to build a strong, individualized defense strategy focused on helping you remain in the United States.
Parole in Place Support for Military Families in Riverside
Parole in Place (PIP) is a form of immigration relief available to certain family members of U.S. military service members and veterans.
For many families throughout Southern California and the Inland Empire, this option allows them to remain together without having to leave the country.
Potential benefits include:
- Avoiding consular processing abroad
- Eligibility for work authorization
- A possible path toward adjustment of status
Naturalization and Citizenship Services for Riverside Residents
Naturalization allows eligible lawful permanent residents (LPRs) to become U.S. citizens after meeting important legal requirements such as continuous residence, physical presence in the United States, good moral character, and English and civics requirements, among others.
At Lisinski Law Firm, we are proud to help Riverside clients evaluate their eligibility, prepare Form N-400, respond to USCIS requests, and prepare for the naturalization interview. We also carefully review each case to identify potential risks before filing and help you move forward with confidence.
