With over 20 years as an immigration advocate and 18 years as a licensed attorney, Attorney
Mimi Alcocer has dedicated her career to defending and advancing the rights of immigrants
through holistic, trauma-informed legal representation. She specializes in the intersection of
immigration and criminal law, serving on the Crimmigration Committee of the Texas Criminal
Defense Lawyers Association. As an active member of the American Immigration Lawyers
Association, she regularly trains attorneys on the complexities of immigration consequences in
criminal cases.
As the founder and managing attorney of her firm, she leads a dedicated team providing client-
centered representation in family-based immigration, waivers of inadmissibility, asylum,
removal defense, appeals, and naturalization. Her firm is committed to a comprehensive
approach, advocating for vulnerable immigrant populations, including survivors of crime,
domestic violence, and human trafficking. She also has extensive experience in business
immigration, including EB-5 Immigrant Investor visas and E-2 Treaty Investor visas, guiding
entrepreneurs and investors through the immigration process to achieve their business goals.
Beyond immigration, she is a seasoned criminal trial attorney with extensive experience in
complex felony cases, including 3(g) offenses. She has specialized forensic training and
collaborates with forensic experts, particularly in cases involving Abusive Head Trauma. Her
deep understanding of forensic evidence and trial strategy allows her to provide highly skilled
representation, ensuring that non-citizen clients receive comprehensive legal counsel that
accounts for both criminal and immigration consequences.
Her commitment to advocacy extends beyond the courtroom—she actively collaborates with
community organizations, policymakers, and legal professionals to drive systemic change in
immigration law. Passionate about mentoring the next generation of attorneys, she continues to
train and empower legal professionals to advance immigrant rights and build a more just legal
system.
