Immigration Lawyer in the Bronx
The Bronx has long been New York City's beating heart of resilience, hustle, and cultural diversity. From the historic Italian roots of Arthur Avenue to the vibrant Dominican, West African, and Albanian communities thriving along the Grand Concourse and Pelham Parkway today, the borough was built on the ambition of immigrants. We recognize that coming to America is about creating a lasting legacy for your family. However, the U.S. immigration system is rigid, document-heavy, and deeply unforgiving.
When your future, your livelihood, or your family's safety is on the line, you need a legal advocate who matches the tenacity of the borough you call home.
Established in 2017, Ureña & Associates is a premier law firm dedicated entirely to naturalization and immigration law. Our litigators have represented over 30,000 clients in complex citizenship and immigration matters. We firmly reject one-size-fits-all approaches, choosing instead to take the time to get to know you and your situation before building a solid, personalized strategy.
Whether you are fighting a removal order, seeking asylum from persecution, or sponsoring a loved one to join you in the U.S., our multilingual team provides the compassionate, strategic representation you deserve. Call (845) 932-0679 or contact us online to schedule a consultation with a Bronx immigration lawyer.

Bronx Deportation Defense & Removal Litigation
Bronx locals from Fordham to Mott Haven face immense stress and unique procedural challenges when confronted with deportation. Navigating the local and federal immigration court systems requires an advocate who deeply understands the hurdles impacting families along the Grand Concourse and beyond.
When facing government prosecutors, you need a proven litigator in your corner. Principal Attorney Rafael Urena leads our practice with a formidable record of upending hundreds of government removal attempts. His high-stakes litigation background includes successfully persuading federal judges to grant some of the largest immigrant visa preservation orders in U.S. history. Because of this aggressive, results-driven approach, major global publications, including the Los Angeles Times and BBC News, frequently feature our attorneys' insights into evolving policies and complex immigration law.
We vigorously defend clients in removal proceedings, fighting to protect their fundamental right to remain in the United States with their loved ones.
