Grateful to work and make a difference in people’s lives: Jacqueline Gonzalez Valle

Jacqueline Gonzalez Valle is an attorney based in our Cerritos, California office.

Jacqueline’s favorite part of her job is that it is rewarding and fulfilling. She feels blessed to be able to make a difference in people’s lives, especially when it comes to people that live in fear and insecurity because of their immigration status. Jacqueline also enjoys the challenge of dealing with complex issues and trying to find solutions.

Jacqueline comes from a family that migrated to the US in search of a better life, as many do. So, immigration law is something that is personal to her. When Jacqueline was in law school, she worked at a clinic where she helped women who were victims of violence obtain U-Visa or VAWA status. Jacqueline was able to see how her work transformed their lives once they had lawful status and the ability to work. After that, Jacqueline was hooked to work in the immigration field.

Jacqueline finds perspective in working with clients who are affected by various immigration issues. It makes her feel grateful that she was lucky enough to have access to so many opportunities in the US, while many people all over the world do not, and she feels it is all thanks to her parents’ sacrifice in migrating to this country.
