We Specialize In:

The path that led me to specialize in immigration law is one deeply intertwined with personal conviction, cultural immersion, and a longstanding dedication to justice. 

I have been a licensed attorney in Alabama since 2004, and though I have experience in multiple areas of the law, beginning in 2015 I zeroed in on my true passion: Immigration Law.  Before shifting my practice to focus on Immigration Law and due to recognizing the immense value of direct communication with my clients, in 2013, I moved to Costa Rica in order to learn Spanish. This move was not only about changing my location, but also about immersing myself in a new culture and learning the language fluently in order to ensure effective communication with those I serve.

A significant part of my drive is inspired by my personal background.  As the daughter of an Air Force pilot whose dedication to our nation was unwavering, I grew up with tales of valor and a sense of duty.  While my father took to the skies, I found my battleground in defending justice and fiercely advocating for the underserved immigration community.  Over the years, I have honed my immigration skills and knowledge and have been focusing my expertise on family-based immigration visas, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), VAWA petitions, U-Visas, T-Visas, DACA, EAD petitions, and Parole in Place.  Recognizing the diverse tapestry of our society, I am proud to represent all members of the immigration community, from traditional families to same-sex couples to military families.

Beyond individual representation of my personal clients, my vision for helping immigrants extends to the wider business and legal community.   As a result, Tidwell Law Firm offers expert contracted services to enterprises and other law firms that may need immigration work for their clients.  Furthermore, the essence of clear, concise, and heartfelt communication is encapsulated in our translation and interpretation services, designed for both our clients as well as other businesses and law firms.

In every endeavor, my mission remains steadfast: to champion the rights of those seeking a new beginning, ensuring they are heard, respected, and accepted.  If you or someone you know requires guidance, representation, or simply wishes to hear more about my journey and vision, I invite you to reach out to our Firm.  Together, let us write a new chapter of understanding and acceptance.
