Overview

Attorney Glorily A. López exclusively practices U.S. immigration and nationality law, assisting individuals, families, and corporate clients. Her experience includes extensive work with family, employment, business and individual-based immigration petitions, as well as consular processing, naturalization, citizenship, and removal defense.

Attorney López has earned a solid reputation as one of the top immigration attorneys in Wisconsin and nationally. She has been consistently named on lists for Best Lawyers® in America since 2005 (including "Madison Lawyer of the Year - Immigration" in both 2013 and 2016), and Wisconsin Super Lawyers® Rising Stars in Immigration Law. In 2016, she was named one of "Wisconsin's 48 Most Powerful Latinos" by Madison365. She is rated "10.0-Superb" on Avvo.com and was given the Avvo "Clients' Choice Award" in 2012.

Founded in 1946, AILA is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization that provides continuing legal education, information to the public, professional services, and expertise through its 39 chapters and over 50 national liaison committees.

Attorney López has served at Board of Governors of AILA at the national level, and held various officer positions including AILA Wisconsin Chapter Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Liaison to various important government agencies including USCIS, USICE, USCBP, and Wisconsin DMV. Her long-standing membership with AILA allows her to stay current on changes to immigration laws, policies and regulations and provide up-to-date advice to her clients, in high-stake issues, which are often time-sensitive.

Attorney López also travels to Washington, D.C. and regularly meets with local congressional staffers to discuss immigration issues affecting Wisconsin businesses and families.
