Ivan Garcia
About
I am Attorney Ivan Garcia, and I graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Science degree and from Southwestern Law School with my Juris Doctorate. I am currently in my ninth year working in the field of immigration, including three years as an attorney and six years as a law clerk and in other legal roles while attending law school.
My experience focuses on family-based immigration and removal defense, with a strong interest in expanding my experience in crimmigration. I have successfully represented individuals before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), helping them obtain lawful permanent residency, citizenship, and other immigration benefits.
In addition, I work with various nonprofit organizations, including the Southwestern Immigration Clinic, COFEM, and AILA, providing pro bono services, educational presentations, and community workshops.
As a first-generation Mexican American, I am passionate about giving back to our community and aspire to one day establish my own immigration law firm.
