US-ILC REPRESENTS IN ALL 50 STATES

Maribel Reyes

Contracts Associate

As a team member at US-ILC, I revel in doing what I love. Before joining the Firm, I was already familiar with US-ILC’s exceptional reputation in the immigration field. I believe the work ethics that the Firm has established, as well as the management and human resources teams, and the overall positive environment are the ingredients behind its success. When my teammates express how supported and appreciated they feel, and when I receive positive feedback from management about my performance, I know that we are all being given the tools to thrive.

My position as a Contracts Associate in the Contracts Department enables me to keep abreast of immigration cases. Not only can I share my knowledge with my family, but I also have the capacity to use it to help others find their paths – a benefit that is meaningful to me as the daughter of immigrants. My work involves participating in the initial strategy sessions with attorneys, to learn people’s stories and the options that the attorneys determine may be best for them based on their specific needs. This often entails providing input to attorneys in weighing the complexity of cases. I am particularly in awe of the direct approach that our managing attorney, Saman Movassaghi Gonzalez, utilizes when it comes to discussing options with those seeking guidance.

Through the Firm’s strategy sessions, I am regularly exposed to new immigration scenarios, which has given me an excellent groundwork for continually expanding my knowledge in the field. Part of my functions at US-ILC is also to communicate with potential clients in English and Spanish to ensure that they have a solid understanding of the services we can perform on their behalf, and the length that each process may take.

When I am at home, I savor spending playful times bonding with my dog, who provides me with a pure source of unconditional love. As the eldest of four siblings, I am exceedingly family oriented. I cherish our daily group chats, and the Sundays when we put aside our busy schedules and gather together to enjoy each other’s company and build memories. My chosen form of self-expression is dancing to Mexican, Hispanic, and all types of music.
