Overview
Operating out of a suite in Orlando’s Fern Creek corridor, Rodriguez Figueroa Law, PLLC handles immigration cases originating from countries spanning four continents, a client geography that reflects both the breadth of U.S. immigration law and the specific communities attorney Sheila Marie Rodriguez-Figueroa has built her practice around. The firm serves individuals and families across Florida and across the country, with particular attention to the Spanish-speaking populations of Central Florida and the many immigrant communities who navigate the U.S. immigration system with limited access to legal counsel in their native language.
Founded by Sheila Marie Rodriguez-Figueroa, the firm concentrates entirely on immigration law. This specialization means the office does not divide its attention across unrelated legal fields. Clients who come to Rodriguez Figueroa Law deal with an attorney and staff whose focus is immigration, from initial consultations through case resolution.
Attorney Rodriguez-Figueroa previously worked as an immigration attorney at Maney Gordon Zeller, PA and served as counsel at DEMIDCHIK LAW firm before establishing her own practice. She is a member of the Florida Bar and conducts consultations in both English and Spanish.
The firm’s address is 301 N Fern Creek Ave, Suite 6, Orlando, FL 32803. The main phone number is (407) 634-4757. The firm website is www.rodriguezfigueroa.com
