Meet Our Founder

Rita Mendes, our principal attorney, exemplifies the potential for immigrants to achieve remarkable success in the United States. Arriving in the country at the age of 12 with no knowledge of the English language, she has emerged as one of the foremost immigration lawyers in the region. Her fluency in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, coupled with her unwavering dedication, has enabled her to provide exceptional legal services to a diverse clientele.

Attaining her current stature in the legal profession required steadfast dedication over an 11-year period. Rita Mendes diligently pursued her education, starting at Massasoit Community College, where she laid the groundwork for her future endeavors. She subsequently completed her Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, graduating with honors. To further refine her legal expertise, Attorney Mendes pursued a Juris Doctor degree at the New England School of Law in Boston, specializing in immigration law. This specialization provided her with invaluable professional experiences, shaping her into the accomplished attorney she is today.

Throughout her journey, Rita Mendes has remained deeply involved with her community. She currently serves as a Massachusetts State Representative and Councilor at Large of the city of Brockton. Her commitment to public service is a testament to her unwavering dedication to advocating for the rights of individuals and families.
