Attorney Information
Overview
Veronica Garza earned her Doctor of Jurisprudence from Texas Wesleyan School of Law. She did her undergraduate studies at Texas State University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Political Science and a minor in Psychology. Ms. Garza, a US citizen born in Mexico, to a Mexican mother and an American father, has experienced first-hand the complexities of the US immigration system and is always able to relate to her clients' plight.
Her passion for immigration law started in her law school years, when she was awarded a coveted fellowship that allowed her to spend an intensive summer immersed in the practice of immigration law. After graduation, Ms. Garza was hired by a large local nonprofit organization to be their immigration attorney on staff. Ms. Garza spent over six years being an essential piece in the development and growth of the immigration department at that agency. Ms. Garza's passion and devotion to her work took the small immigration program to flourish into a robust immigration department.
Ms. Garza has taken her passion of immigration law to her own practice, The Law Offices of Veronica Garza, PLLC, where she focuses in all areas of immigration law including family and employment based, humanitarian relief, citizenship, and removal defense. Her work on Waivers of inadmissibility has taken her to national conferences to teach on the subject, and to have some samples of her work published as a guide for newer practitioners. Her thoroughness in preparing her court cases has earned her the appreciation and respect of the courts where she practices.
Ms. Garza is Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. She is a member of the Texas State Bar and is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. She is also a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, The San Antonio Bar Association, and the Tarrant County Bar Association, where she served as Chair of the International and Immigration Law Section for six years and Chair of the Diversity Committee for two years. She has provided countless presentations in all areas of immigration law and has been part of immigration panels and discussions for the general public as well as in legal and academic settings. Ms. Garza has a background in education and enjoyed teaching as an Adjunct Professor at Texas A&M School of Law for three years.
When Ms. Garza is not spending time at her Arlington and New Braunfels offices, she is volunteering her time with her son at community organizations like CASA of Tarrant County, the YMCA, Meals on Wheels, the Humane Society, and Tarrant Area Food Bank.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
