Ira Aspiz, Of Counsel,

Ira Aspiz has been practicing as an attorney since 1981. After graduating from Loyola University Law School (Los Angeles), he practiced law in California and in Florida. He is a member of the State Bar of California. His practice is limited to Immigration Law. He has previously practiced Family Law, and has expertise in that field, as well. From 2001-2013, he was employed by the USCIS (Immigration) Asylum Office where he served as a Supervisory Asylum Officer (from 2004-2013), in which capacity he supervised, trained, and evaluated Asylum Officers.

He was frequently involved in the training of Immigration Officers nationally, and he served as an author of portions of the Asylum Officer Lesson Plans (the training manual for asylum officers). He has extensive experience in representing clients in Administrative Proceedings, Court Hearings, Appeals, Overseas Processing, and every visa imaginable. He is an active member of the Orange County Bar Association Immigration Section. He has worked with high profile clients from a large number of countries. He takes a special interest in asylum cases because of their unique challenges. Most of his clients are referred by other attorneys, and by satisfied clients. Although he has had many clients during his many years of practice, he prides himself on the individual, careful attention he pays to each client he sees.
