Overview
Mission
Our Mission is to unite and strengthen immigrant families by providing immigration services at affordable prices. Javier joined AIS as the lead attorney in October of 2021. He studied at the William H. Bowen School of Law in Little Rock, AR. Since joining AIS, he has helped hundreds of families and individuals resolve their immigration matters. He is dedicated to mastering immigration law and helping people navigate the process. Javier’s family originates from Mexico and has personal knowledge of the legal challenges that families face in the immigration process. His desire to help people and his love for family and community led him to pursue a legal career. He’s found the perfect match in AIS and hopes to grow it into a lasting organization that provides immigration services for those in need. Allianc.
