An Arizona Law Firm With a National Reputation

GES has developed a national reputation for leaning into challenging and complex immigration cases, especially those that involve the intersection of immigration and criminal issues. The firm’s partners regularly lecture and support other attorneys to improve their quality of practice on topics such as post-conviction relief (PCR) for non-citizens, border and political asylum-related issues, removal defense, federal court litigation against the Department of Homeland Security, and trial & appellate advocacy.
