Successfully representing immigrants — clients who often face the stiffest odds in the U.S. court system — best describes the practice of the 21 lawyers at De Mott, McChesney, Curtright & Armendáriz, five of whom are certified in immigration law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

In 2012 alone, the San Antonio-based firm's lawyers successfully canceled removal proceedings for numerous clients, appealed and overturned a client's murder conviction, and vacated dozens of convictions based on the argument that their clients had previously received ineffective assistance of counsel because they were not warned of the consequences their criminal defense would have on their immigration proceedings.
