Headquartered in Houston at 6464 Savoy Drive, Suite 570, Mokolo Law Firm has emerged as a key legal resource for immigrants facing complex legal challenges; from ICE encounters and detention risks to criminal histories that could trigger inadmissibility or deportation.

Protecting Immigrants’ Rights in a Shifting Legal Landscape

While immigration enforcement remains a federal responsibility, recent developments in Texas–such as the proposed SB 4 law – have raised public confusion about what local authorities can and cannot do. In response, Mokolo Law Firm launched its “Your Immigration Rights in Texas” resource, outlining federal protections that apply to all immigrants, regardless of legal status.

“Whether you’re undocumented or applying for a green card, you still have constitutional protections,” said Attorney Uzo J. Mokolo, founder and lead counsel at the firm. “That includes the right to remain silent, protection against unlawful searches, and the right to due process before an immigration judge.”

The firm encourages individuals to know their rights if approached by law enforcement or immigration officers, and to seek counsel before making legal admissions or decisions that could affect their immigration status.

Criminal Records: A Hidden Threat to Immigration Status

In a parallel effort, Mokolo Law Firm is also sounding the alarm on how criminal records – sometimes even minor or years-old convictions, can derail immigration applications. Their latest guide, “The Impact of a Criminal Record on Your Immigration Case”, breaks down how offenses like fraud, theft, domestic violence, or drug possession can lead to visa denials, green card ineligibility, or removal proceedings.

“Many clients come to us unaware that a single arrest or misdemeanor could prevent them from adjusting status or even result in deportation,” said Attorney Caresse Duru, who handles immigration and removal defense. “Immigration law doesn’t treat all convictions the same. Some are disqualifying, others may be waivable, but the stakes are always high.”

Comprehensive Legal Defense for Complex Immigration Cases

Mokolo Law Firm provides clients with full-scope immigration representation, including:

• Deportation defense and bond hearings

• Green card and adjustment of status applications

• Waivers of inadmissibility

• Post-conviction relief coordination

• Asylum and humanitarian relief

• Naturalization and citizenship

• Family-based and employment-based petitions

“We treat each case as urgent, because for our clients, it often is,” said Mokolo. “What we offer is not just legal services, but peace of mind, strategic planning, and honest advocacy.”
