Whatever Stage Your Case Is At, We Meet You There
Esparza Law Office represents individuals and families throughout Southern California pursuing permanent residency through Adjustment of Status, and defending against removal proceedings before the Immigration Courts.
One Firm, Two Ways We Fight for Your Future
Immigration cases rarely stay in one lane. Some clients come to us ready to apply for a green card. Others come to us in crisis, facing a Notice to Appear and a court date they do not understand. Esparza Law Office handles both, because families often need both.
Led by Attorney Jonathan Esparza, our San Diego based firm represents clients pursuing lawful permanent residency through Adjustment of Status, and defends clients facing removal before the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
Whichever situation brought you here, we start the same way: a free, confidential consultation to understand your case and tell you honestly where you stand.
Jonathan Esparza, Esq.Adjustment of Status
A path to permanent residency for people already in the United States, without having to leave the country.
- Marriage based and employment based applications
- Concurrent filing of immigrant petitions and adjustment applications
- Work permits (EAD) and travel documents (Advance Parole)
- Waivers of inadmissibility when applicable
Removal Defense
Representation before the Immigration Courts for individuals facing deportation, so your case is heard on its merits.
- Bond hearings to secure release from detention
- Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and CAT claims
- Cancellation of Removal for residents and non residents
- Motions to Reopen, Reconsider, and BIA appeals
Complex Cases Are Where We Do Our Best Work
Most cases that come to us are not simple. Here is the kind of complexity we regularly evaluate and address on both sides of the practice.
Adjustment of Status 01
Unlawful presence or overstays that may require a waiver before filing.
Prior immigration violations that need to be addressed directly in the filing.
Inadmissibility issues requiring a waiver strategy specific to your history.
Removal Defense 02
Received a Notice to Appear and need representation before a court date.
Currently detained and need a bond hearing to secure release.
Prior removal order where a Motion to Reopen or BIA appeal may still help.

Your Questions Answered
Common questions across both Adjustment of Status and Removal Defense.
If you are already in the U.S. and want to apply for a green card without a court case involved, that is typically Adjustment of Status. If you have received a Notice to Appear or have a case in Immigration Court, that is Removal Defense. If you are not sure, tell us your situation in the form below and we will point you in the right direction before your consultation even starts.
In some circumstances, yes, an adjustment application can be pursued as a form of relief within removal proceedings. This depends heavily on the specifics of your case, which is why we assess it directly rather than guess.
Yes. We assist with obtaining work authorization (EAD) and travel documents (Advance Parole), typically filed alongside your adjustment application.
Often, yes. We represent clients in bond hearings to seek release from immigration detention so you can prepare your defense alongside your family.
