Jose Ilarraza is a paralegal on our Defense Team. His passion for immigration law, combined with his background in communication and sales, has propelled him in this role to focusing on helping individuals navigate complex legal systems while supporting attorneys for positive social change.
As a Puerto Rican born and raised in Rochester, New York, Jose’s upbringing was deeply influenced by a diverse culture and a faith that seeks redemption in the world, especially in immigration. He has witnessed friends whose parents migrated from Latin America due to social collapse and government corruption become outstanding citizens in the United States. Such experience drives Jose to advocate for people like them. Jose's faith equips him to fulfill the call to “seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”
