Our Law Office

Our firm is grounded in a lifelong commitment to justice, humanitarian advocacy, and client-centered representation. Before establishing her U.S. immigration practice, Atty. Salazar served for over five years as a public defender in the Philippines an experience that shaped her dedication to due process, human rights, and the protection of vulnerable individuals. She handled more than 1,000 cases across criminal, civil, and family matters, building deep expertise in trauma-informed advocacy and complex legal problem-solving.

This foundation now strengthens her work in humanitarian immigration and international protection, where compassion, accuracy, and legal integrity are essential. Her background allows her to represent survivors of trafficking, violence, persecution, and injustice with both strategic precision and genuine empathy. Her ongoing advocacy for humanitarian law guides the firm’s approach to T-Visas, U-Visas, VAWA, humanitarian parole, waivers, and asylum, ensuring each case reflects dignity, truth, and a clear pursuit of protection under U.S. law.

Beyond litigation, Atty. Salazar has always been a community advocate. As an active member of Rotary, she provided free legal support and led numerous public service initiatives. She has lectured inside prisons and detention facilities across Metro Manila, teaching individuals about their rights, remedies, and due process protections. She has also delivered seminars on gender and development, including the Magna Carta of Women and the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act, reinforcing her long-standing commitment to humanitarian law and social justice.

Today, this same dedication shapes her U.S. immigration practice delivering meticulous, ethical, and compassionate representation for individuals, families, workers, investors, and partner organizations navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration.
