An immigrant born and raised in Guatemala himself, Jose understands the immigrant process from firsthand experience. He discovered his passion for helping other foreign nationals pursue the American Dream while studying law at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, where he assisted clients with humanitarian applications as a member of the California Asylum Representation Clinic and served as Executive Editor of the Berkeley Journal of International Law. Before founding De Wit Immigration Law, Jose practiced commercial litigation and immigration law at both boutique and large international firms in California and Florida, and has practiced immigration law exclusively since 2017.
