VAWA Immigration Lawyer in Georgia

Empowering Victims of Abuse to Obtain Legal Status

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides protection and a pathway to lawful status for immigrants who have suffered abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.

Through the partnership between Hines Law and Sepúlveda Immigration Group (SIG), survivors receive sensitive and skilled legal representation from Attorney Fabiola Sepúlveda, a bilingual immigration attorney dedicated to helping clients regain safety and independence.

This partnership ensures clients throughout Georgia and beyond receive the guidance, compassion, and strength they need to move forward.
