Ala Amoachi, Esq. 
|
Attorney Profile:
Ala Amoachi is deeply committed to her immigrant clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they receive effective, high-quality legal representation. Her passion for immigration law is rooted in her own personal journey as an immigrant. She arrived in the United States at the age of eight and was granted asylum after spending much of her childhood in deportation proceedings. Through this experience, she came to understand that the antidote to the fear and anxiety inherent in the immigration process is knowledge. As a result, she prioritizes keeping her clients informed, prepared, and empowered at every stage of their case. Ms. Amoachi earned her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2006 and graduated from Hofstra Law School in 2009, where she concentrated in International Law. From early on, she aspired to become an immigration attorney and was actively involved in Hofstra’s Political Asylum and Immigration Practice. She now brings over 14 years of experience in immigration law, handling a wide range of matters including political asylum, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), cancellation of removal, family-based immigration, U visas, VAWA, NACARA, and more. Ms. Amoachi is fluent in Spanish. Ms. Amoachi employs a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, particularly in asylum cases and matters involving children. She takes great pride in serving as an advocate and ally for her clients as they present their unique and often difficult stories before immigration officers and judges. She practices law with the highest standards of compassion, integrity, ethics, and honesty. |
