Areas We Serve
Immigration Legal Representation Throughout the New York City Metro Area
Immigration cases rarely follow a straight line, and the distance between your home and your lawyer's office should never add one more complication.
Ureña & Associates works out of a Brooklyn office, but our reach extends well past that address: across the five boroughs, out to Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester Counties, and to clients throughout the country and overseas who handle their cases with us remotely.
That range matters because immigration law follows people, not addresses. A family reunification petition prepared in Sunset Park and an asylum claim built with a client several time zones away both move through the same federal system and receive the same attention from our attorneys.
Our team has collectively represented more than 30,000 clients in immigration and citizenship matters, and our staff speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and more. Call (845) 932-0679 or contact us online to schedule a case consultation with an attorney at Ureña & Associates today.

Localized Immigration Support & Visa Solutions
Immigrant workers, international students, and mixed-status families throughout the metropolitan area confront an increasingly unforgiving legal system.
Our attorneys defend foreign nationals at every phase of their immigration journey, representing clients before USCIS field offices, regional immigration courts (EOIR), and federal appellate benches in cases involving:
- Family-based immigration. Guiding spouses, fiancés, and children through green card petitions, waivers, and consular processing to keep families united on U.S. soil.
- Asylum and humanitarian relief. Preparing asylum claims, U-visas, and humanitarian applications backed by detailed country-conditions evidence for individuals fleeing persecution and violence.
- Deportation and removal defense. Fighting notices to appear, negotiating release from immigration detention at bond hearings, and litigating cancellation of removal to keep clients in their homes.
Because our practice is dedicated entirely to immigration defense, we are well-versed in how shifting federal enforcement policies and local court rulings affect noncitizens on the ground. When you choose Ureña & Associates, you can expect fierce advocacy, candid guidance, and the dignity your case deserves.
