Immigration Attorney | Legalizate Ya Law Firm
Hard work, sacrifice, and perseverance are more than ideals at Legalizate Ya Law Firm—they are the foundation of Marc A. Gonzalez’s approach to immigration law. Raised working on his family’s cattle ranch in South Texas, Marc learned early that lasting progress requires discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to family—values that continue to guide his representation of immigrants today.
Marc earned his law degree in 2005 and began his legal career as a prosecutor in Laredo, Webb County, where his performance and leadership quickly led to his promotion to Assistant District Attorney for the 49th Judicial District Court. In that role, he handled complex and high-stakes cases, gaining firsthand knowledge of how government agencies evaluate evidence, exercise discretion, and make life-altering legal decisions. This insider perspective now serves as a critical advantage for immigrants navigating the U.S. immigration system.
In 2008, Marc returned to the community that raised him and opened his own law practice, driven by a mission to serve individuals and families facing the most serious legal challenges of their lives. Over the years, he has represented clients in state and federal courts across the United States, earning a reputation as a strategic, forward-thinking attorney who sees several steps ahead and prepares for obstacles before they arise.
Today, at Legalizate Ya Law Firm, Marc focuses his practice on U.S. immigration law, helping immigrants and their families pursue lawful status, defend against removal, and secure long-term stability in the United States. He regularly handles family-based petitions, adjustment of status, waivers, VAWA cases, cancellation of removal, and immigration matters involving criminal convictions. His background as a former prosecutor allows him to identify risk, anticipate government arguments, and build immigration strategies that are both legally sound and practical.
Marc is known for his hands-on representation, clear communication, and relentless advocacy. At Legalizate Ya, the mission is simple: protect families, defend immigrant rights, and help clients move forward with confidence and dignity.
