About the Firm

Carlos Maury Law

A national practice of former U.S. Immigration Judges — federal-caliber counsel for individuals, families, and businesses, in immigration court and federal court.

From the Bench, to Your Side

We built this firm on an uncommon idea: that the people facing the immigration system deserve an advocate who has sat on the other side of it. We bring the discipline of the courtroom, the clarity of a judge's perspective, and a relentless commitment to the people who trust us with their future.

A career spent inside the system

Carlos E. Maury served as a U.S. Immigration Judge at the Van Nuys Immigration Court, appointed by Attorney General Eric Holder and beginning to hear cases in 2015. Before the bench, he spent more than a decade with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Los Angeles — rising to deputy chief counsel — and earlier served as district counsel with the former Immigration and Naturalization Service in Miami, and as a public defender in Florida.

That all-angles experience shapes how the firm works today: we understand how immigration decisions are actually made, what persuades, and what real preparation looks like when a person's future is on the line.

What We Stand For

  1. 01

    Preparation over promises

    We never guarantee outcomes. We win trust by out-preparing the other side and building the clearest possible record.

  2. 02

    A judge's perspective

    Having decided cases from the bench, we know what moves a decision — and we bring that insight to yours.

  3. 03

    Clarity for clients

    The immigration system is overwhelming. We translate it into plain language and a clear plan forward.

  4. 04

    Relentless advocacy

    From bond hearings to appeals, we fight for every client as if their future depends on it — because it does.

  5. 05

    Access in your language

    We serve clients nationwide and in both English and Spanish. Hablamos Español.

  6. 06

    Integrity, always

    We tell you the truth about your case, cite real authority, and never overstate what the law allows.

The Maury Difference

Perspective

We've sat in the decision-maker's chair. That rare vantage point informs the strategy behind every brief, hearing, and appeal we handle.

Preparation

Meticulous, evidence-first preparation is our edge. We anticipate the questions a judge will ask — and answer them before they're raised.

People

Behind every case is a person, a family, a business. We treat your matter with the seriousness — and humanity — it deserves.
