Immigration cases move on two clocks at once: the government’s, which
is slow, and yours, which never stops. A missed deadline, a form filed
under the wrong category, an interview answered without preparation —
small mistakes carry permanent consequences. Our Houston office exists
so that families in Harris County don’t have to navigate that system
alone, or in a language they didn’t grow up speaking.
Jimenez Mazzitelli Mordes is a litigation firm with offices in
Houston, Miami, and New York. Our immigration team handles matters in
both English and Spanish — not through a translator, but attorney to
client, directly.
Family-based petitions — spousal and relative
petitions, adjustment of status, consular processing, and the waivers
that keep families together when the paperwork says otherwise.
Green cards & permanent residency — from
eligibility strategy through interview preparation.
Citizenship & naturalization — application,
documentation, and preparation for the exam and interview.
Asylum — building the record that gives a claim its
best chance, on the timeline the law requires.
Removal defense — when a family member is detained
or in proceedings, hours matter. We respond accordingly. Learn more about deportation and removal defense in Houston.
Why Bilingual
Representation Matters
Immigration is the one area of law where the client’s story is the case. When you explain your history through a
translator, details flatten and nuance disappears — and nuance is often
what wins. Every client works with attorneys who speak their language.
Your affidavit says what you actually meant.
What a Consultation Looks
Like
Thirty minutes, $100, confidential, in person at our Fannin Street
office or by phone or video. You leave knowing three things: what your
realistic options are, what each path requires, and what it costs — in
writing. If we’re not the right firm for your matter, we say so.
FAQs
Do you handle detained cases? Yes. Removal defense
and bond matters are time-critical; call the hotline and say the case
involves detention.
Can you take over a case another lawyer started? Yes
— we review the file first and tell you honestly whether a change of
counsel helps or hurts at this stage.
Do I need to come to the office? No. Consultations
and most case work can be handled by phone or video, in English or
Spanish.
What should I bring to a consultation? Any
immigration paperwork you’ve received or filed, identity documents, and
— if there are proceedings — every notice from the court or ICE. Missing
papers are not a reason to delay calling.
Confidential consultation in English or Spanish — call (305) 461-3077.

Employment-Based Immigration for the Houston Economy
Houston’s energy, medical, and maritime industries rely on global talent. We assist workers and employers with employment-based immigration, including temporary work visas (such as H-1B, L-1, and O-1) and employment-based green cards, helping you understand the right path for your situation.
Detained or Facing Removal? Act Quickly
If you or a loved one is detained, an immigration judge may set a bond, and a detained person can request a bond hearing before the immigration court to seek release while the case is pending. If you have a hearing scheduled, do not miss it — missing an immigration court hearing can result in an order of removal in absentia. Early legal help protects your rights.
TPS and Humanitarian Relief
Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for humanitarian protections such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), asylum, U visas for certain crime victims, T visas for trafficking survivors, or VAWA self-petitions. Because eligibility rules and program designations change, it is important to speak with an attorney about your current options.
