Keeping families together, from McAllen to Laredo
Elizondo & Zamudio is an immigration firm with three lawyers and three offices in the Rio Grande Valley and Laredo. We file the petitions that bring relatives home, help residents become citizens, renew DACA and stand beside families in immigration court.
Why we do this work
Lawyers, not notarios
Herminia Elizondo opened our first office after seeing too many neighbors pay a notario for papers that were never filed, or were filed wrong. In Mexico and Central America, a notario público may be a lawyer. In the United States, a notary public isn't one, and can't advise you on immigration.
So we keep a few plain rules. A licensed attorney prepares or reviews every form that leaves our offices, and signs the ones that need a lawyer's signature. You get a copy of everything we file, in a folder that's yours. And you can talk through your case in Spanish or English, whichever you think in.

Counted from our own files for 2025, across the three offices. These figures describe work done, not results; what happened in one family's case doesn't predict what will happen in yours.
Practice areas
Four kinds of case, each one about family
We don't handle work visas for companies or investors. We take the cases that decide whether a family stays together.
Family petitions
A petition for your spouse, child, parent or sibling, and the green card that follows, whether your relative lives here or is waiting abroad.
Family petitions, step by stepCitizenship
Naturalization for permanent residents, and certificates for children who became citizens through a parent.
How citizenship worksDACA
Renewals filed well ahead of the deadline and, at each one, a fresh look at any other path you may now qualify for.
DACA renewalsDeportation defense
Representation in immigration court, bond for a detained relative, and the forms of relief that let a person stay with family.
Defense in immigration court
Close to home
The places our clients mean to stay near
Most of the families we represent have lived here for years. Their cases are about staying close to the people, the streets and the parish they already call home.
Offices
Three offices, one shared file
Come to whichever office is closest. Your file is shared across all three, so you never have to tell your story twice.

Every case here begins with one conversation
A first consultation is an hour with a lawyer at the office nearest you, or by video. Bring whatever papers you have. We'll tell you what we see, what we'd file and what it would cost, in writing.
