About this attorney
Daniel S. Castaneda was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. He has a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, from Michigan State University, a Masters Degree in International Relations from Alliant International University and a Juris Doctorate Degree from Thomas Jefferson School of Law. Since 2011 Daniel has represented hundreds of Latinos in immigration, criminal and civil matters. These include, people facing deportation, drug smuggling charges, unlicensed contractor suits and landlord tenant disputes. His experience in federal, state and appellate courts has given him the knowledge to adequately represent individuals facing difficult legal matters. Knowledge of the Spanish language and Latino cultural values helps him relate with his clients to provide representation they can understand.
Throughout their legal career, Daniel has concentrated their practice on complex immigration filings, including deportation/removal defense, green card legal assistance, and immigration bond assistance. Having graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, they bring rigorous statutory analysis, thorough evidentiary documentation, and meticulous case preparation to every client petition before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and regional Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) immigration courts.
Recognizing that immigration matters are deeply personal and critical to their clients' future, Daniel maintains transparent communication and accessible counsel throughout every stage of the legal process. Their office conducts thorough initial case evaluations, helps clients understand potential risks and timelines, and provides clear, personalized guidance from initial petition submission through interview representation and appellate review.
