I went to University of Maryland School of Law in Baltimore. And I kind of honed in on immigration law as a law student. So I was actually a student attorney in the immigration clinic there at University of Maryland. And since then, that’s kind of been my exclusive practice area.

So I’ve been practicing immigration law now for about ten years. It’s the one niche area that I – that I found, that I liked, that I enjoyed. Prior to that, I was doing corporate legal work. And I found this work to be a lot more rewarding.

Apart from obviously having represented clients in immigration court as a student, I continued. I started doing some employment immigration work, which is something we don’t do here. But I basically have stuck to that and have found my little niche area in removal defense and – crimmigration is the other area that we focus on exclusively here in the – in the firm.

I was chair of the Maryland State Bar Association Immigration Law Section for one year and then I’ve served in various capacities in that organization. Also very active with the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which is the largest immigration lawyers group in the country. Very active here in the Washington, DC chapter. Serve as the liaison to the ICE ERO committees in Baltimore as well as the USCIS committees in the past.

Wheaton, MD immigration lawyer Himedes V. Chicas talks about his background/experience and service to the community.
