Georgia Santos Laurent

Personal Introduction

Georgia is a licensed attorney in the United States, where she found her true calling in the immigration law area. In the U.S., she graduated from Florida State University College of Law, where she obtained a Masters in American Law (LL.M.) in addition to her Juris Doctor, graduating with honors (Magna cum Laude). She first gained experience in immigration law as a volunteer at the Center for Advancement of Human Rights, representing clients in asylum, domestic violence, human trafficking, and refugee cases. After that, she enrolled in various internships and externships in the public interest law field. She directly assisted a family law judge at the Second Circuit Court, who was an excellent mentor, leading her to the next experience at the FSU Law’s Children’s Advocacy Clinic. At the clinic, she learned about the foster care system and handled adoption and special immigration juvenile cases. The work she did there solidified her commitment to stand up and advocate for underrepresented people in vulnerable situations, but also enabled her to be in contact with immigration again. Upon becoming a licensed attorney in Florida, she applied for jobs in Austin, TX to be reunited with friends & family members who live in the area. After being an associate for more than five years, she decided to apply her experience towards her own firm. She has experience with family-based petitions, removal defense, waivers, humanitarian visas, representation before USCIS & bond proceedings. Her work experience, language skills, and passion enabled her to create SanLaurent Law Group.
