  • We have been in business, at the same location, for over 30 years. Our founder, Ernest Gustafson, affectionately known as “El Jefe,” administered the largest amnesty program in the country while serving as Los Angeles District Director of the former Immigration and Naturalization Service. Following the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, the five-county Los Angeles INS district processed approximately 1,179,000 amnesty applications, representing 44% of the nationwide total.

    Mr. Gustafson brought decades of experience, leadership, and a unique understanding of the immigration system to the foundation of our office. His commitment to professionalism, integrity, and service continues to shape the way we operate today.

    More than 30 years later, we remain at the same location, serving individuals and families with the same personal attention and dedication on which our office was built. We are proud of our history, but even more proud of the trust our clients have placed in us throughout the years.

    Our history is something we are proud to share, but it is equally important to be clear about who we are. Mr. Gustafson and the members of our staff are not attorneys, and our office does not provide legal advice or legal representation. References to Mr. Gustafson’s prior government service and experience are provided solely as part of the history of our office and are not intended to represent, imply, or suggest that we are attorneys, legal experts, or otherwise authorized to practice law.

    Three decades of service. A history rooted in immigration. A commitment to treating every client with professionalism, care, and respect.
