Introduction
The Alemany Law Firm LLC has operated as a family-run practice since 2009, combining immigration law with criminal and traffic defense from its office at 1080 Upper Hembree Road in Roswell, Georgia 30076. The firm’s phone number is (770) 993-9636, fax (678) 668-7490, and its office hours run Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon. Membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association reflects a formal commitment to professional standards in the immigration field, and Spanish language services are provided by the attorneys themselves, not through interpreters, which makes a meaningful practical difference in how immigration matters are communicated and handled.
Immigration law requires precise timing, careful document assembly, and an understanding of how federal agency procedures intersect with court proceedings. The Alemany Law Firm brings that precision to a wide range of immigration matters, from straightforward family petitions to complex deportation defense, while also representing clients who face criminal or traffic charges in Georgia courts.
Practice Areas
Immigration Law
Family-Based Immigration
The firm handles petitions for spouses, parents, and children seeking lawful status in the United States. Family-based immigration involves multiple federal agencies, priority date queues, and country-specific backlogs that affect timelines in ways that require ongoing monitoring and strategic planning.
Citizenship and Naturalization
Naturalization requires meeting continuous residence and physical presence requirements, passing civics and English tests, and demonstrating good moral character. The firm guides applicants through the N-400 application process and prepares clients for the interview.
VAWA Petitions
The Violence Against Women Act allows certain victims of domestic violence who are married to or were married to U.S. citizens or permanent residents to self-petition for immigration status without the abusive spouse’s participation or knowledge. The firm handles these sensitive matters with the discretion the circumstances require.
U Visas
U visas are available to crime victims who have suffered substantial physical or mental abuse and who cooperate with law enforcement investigating or prosecuting the crime. The petition process requires certification from a law enforcement agency and careful documentation of the harm suffered.
Removal and Deportation Defense
Removal proceedings before the immigration court require active defense strategies. The firm represents clients in these proceedings, asserting defenses including asylum and withholding of removal, adjustment of status, cancellation of removal, and other forms of relief that may be available depending on the individual’s immigration history and circumstances.
Asylum and Withholding of Removal
Asylum protection is available to individuals who have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Withholding of removal provides a related but distinct protection. The firm handles both affirmative asylum applications filed with USCIS and defensive asylum claims raised in removal proceedings before an immigration judge.
Temporary Protected Status and DACA
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) provides protection from removal for nationals of designated countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary conditions. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) provides renewable two-year periods of deferred action and work authorization for individuals brought to the United States as children who meet the program’s eligibility requirements. The firm handles both initial applications and renewals for these programs.
Advance Parole
Advance parole allows certain individuals to travel outside the United States and return without abandoning a pending immigration application. Traveling without advance parole can have severe and sometimes irreversible consequences for a pending case.
FOIA Requests
Freedom of Information Act requests allow individuals to obtain copies of their immigration files from federal agencies including USCIS, ICE, and the State Department. Reviewing these records is often a critical step before filing petitions or preparing for immigration court.
RFE, NOID, and Denial Responses
When USCIS issues a Request for Evidence, a Notice of Intent to Deny, or an outright denial, a timely and well-documented response can determine whether a petition ultimately succeeds. The firm prepares responses to these agency communications, addressing the specific grounds raised and supplying the additional evidence or legal argument needed.
Criminal and Traffic Defense
The firm extends its representation to criminal and traffic matters in Georgia courts. Clients facing charges related to driving offenses or criminal accusations benefit from having representation familiar with both the local court system and, where immigration status is implicated, the potential consequences a criminal disposition can carry for a pending or future immigration case.
Languages
Attorneys at the firm provide services in Spanish directly, not through external interpreters. For Spanish-speaking clients, this means legal matters can be discussed in detail without the communication gaps or delays that arise when translation is handled by a third party.
Location and Service Area
The office is at 1080 Upper Hembree Road, Roswell, GA 30076, positioned to serve the broad metro-Atlanta region and clients across greater Georgia. The firm’s geographic reach covers a substantial list of communities including Acworth, Alpharetta, Athens, Atlanta, Buford, Canton, Carrollton, Chamblee, Cumming, Decatur, Duluth, Dunwoody, Gainesville, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Norcross, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Snellville, and Woodstock.
Client Focus
Free in-person consultations are offered and are typically completed in under 30 minutes, which respects clients’ time while covering the essential information needed to evaluate a case. Payment plans are available, and the firm provides clear upfront pricing so clients understand the fee structure before committing to representation. This combination of accessible pricing and direct attorney language services makes the firm particularly well-suited for clients who have not previously engaged with the U.S. legal system.
FAQ
What is a VAWA self-petition and who qualifies?
A VAWA self-petition allows certain victims of domestic violence to apply for immigration benefits without involving the abusive spouse. It is available to individuals who are or were married to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and who have suffered abuse during that relationship. The self-petition is filed confidentially and the abuser is not notified.
What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence on my petition?
An RFE does not mean your petition is denied. It means USCIS needs additional documentation or clarification before it can approve the case. The firm prepares detailed RFE responses that address each specific point raised and supplies supporting evidence to demonstrate eligibility.
Can I apply for DACA if my initial application window has passed?
DACA renewals are available to individuals who previously had DACA protection. Eligibility rules and program availability have been subject to court orders, so consulting with an attorney about current program status and individual eligibility is important.
What is advance parole and why does it matter?
Advance parole is permission from USCIS to travel abroad and return to the United States while a pending application is under review. Leaving the country without it can result in abandonment of the pending case or a bar on returning. Not every applicant qualifies for advance parole, so eligibility should be confirmed before making travel plans.
Does the firm represent clients in immigration court removal proceedings?
Yes. The firm handles deportation defense in immigration court, asserting all available forms of relief including asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, and withholding of removal, depending on the facts and history of each case.
