About Us
IMMIGRATION ATTORNEYS
SINCE 1976
We Believe In The Work We Do
And The People We Serve.
Since 1976, De Mott, Curtright & Armendáriz, LLP (DMCA) has provided attorney-led immigration representation to individuals, families, employers, and organizations across the United States. Our attorneys handle every stage of the immigration process, from family- and employment-based immigration to deportation defense, humanitarian relief, naturalization, and federal immigration litigation.
The DMCA Method combines strategic legal planning, personalized representation, and decades of immigration law experience to develop solutions tailored to each client’s goals. Rather than simply preparing applications, our attorneys guide clients through every phase of their case with clear legal strategy and ongoing advocacy.
Our team includes multiple attorneys who are Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction earned by fewer than 1% of Texas attorneys. We also bring the perspective of a former ICE Chief Counsel, providing valuable insight into government policies, enforcement practices, and complex immigration proceedings.
Whether you are seeking a green card, employment visa, citizenship, protection from removal, or representation in federal court, DMCA delivers experienced, attorney-led legal solutions designed to protect your future and achieve lasting results.

Success Stories
RESULTS THAT CHANGE LIVES
RESIDENCY AND CITIZENSHIP ACQUIRED
After expending significant resources on other counsel, our client sought representation from DMCA. We were able to effectively move her case forward, significantly reducing a projected 10-year waiver period to just a few months. This efficiency enabled her to gain residency promptly. Following this success, the firm further…
CITIZENSHIP ATTAINED
Our client had nearly given up hope on their citizenship dreams before reaching out to DMCA. After a long process and continued, focused efforts from our counsel, our client obtained U.S. citizenship and is now able to enjoy life with a secure status in the United States.
BARS TO RESIDENCY REMOVED
Our firm was able to successfully reopen past cases and remove criminal charges from our client’s record, which had previously acted as a permanent bar to pursuing residency. By addressing these past legal issues, we ensured that his history no longer hinders his future, effectively opening the path…
SUCCESS IN CHALLENGING CITIZENSHIP CASE
After an immigration journey spanning eleven years, we helped our client finally achieve U.S. citizenship. This result was made possible by our firm’s willingness to accept his challenging case that other legal professionals had previously declined to take on.
PERMANENT RESIDENCY OBTAINED
Our firm assisted a client in helping her husband attain permanent residency. With clear guidance and consistent communication throughout the procedure, we helped ensure a successful outcome, greater stability, and new opportunities for the entire family.
DISMISSAL OF REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS
Our team represented our client in removal proceedings and successfully resolved a seven-year delay caused by ineffective prior counsel. We were able to secure a dismissal of the proceedings within four months, allowing our client to remain in the United States without the threat of deportation.
CITIZENSHIP ACQUIRED
We supported our client throughout his entire immigration journey, a process that culminated in his acquisition of U.S. citizenship. Our team at DMCA played a crucial role in this success, including accompanying the client to his naturalization interview. Our client is now free to engage all the rights…
GREEN CARD ACQUIRED
Our team provided guidance, communication, and unwavering support from the initial document submission through the visa interview and approval, enabling our client to successfully obtain his green card.
