Lorena Rivas has not lost her personal touch.
Although her firm, Rivas & Associates, continues to grow by leaps and bounds, the well-known and highly influential immigration attorney continues to go out of her way to construct a tailor-made legal course of action and interact with her clients on a personal level.
Her efforts have hardly gone unnoticed. Super Lawyers® unveiled its list of Rising Stars this month, and for a fifth consecutive year, Lorena Rivas was named a Rising Star.
“Very flattering honor,” Lorena Rivas said. “To be recognized by Super Lawyers® is very humbling because there are so many great immigration attorneys out there, and Super Lawyers is such an esteemed legal publication. But awards and honors like this really highlight the work ethic, teamwork, and commitment we have at Rivas & Associates.”
Super Lawyers® Selection Process Second to None
As Rivas points out, Super Lawyers® is held in very high regard throughout the legal industry.
The selection process the publication uses to determine its yearly list of honorees is intense and very esteemed. In fact, only the best 5 percent of attorneys in a specific practice area are selected as Super Lawyers, while 2.5 percent of lawyers in a given practice area are chosen as Rising Stars.
The Super Lawyers website says the selection process is as follows:
“Super Lawyers selects attorneys using a patented multiphase selection process. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with independent research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.
“The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive, and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Since Super Lawyers® is intended to be used as an aid in selecting a lawyer, we limit the lawyer ratings to those who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.”
Rivas & Associates Continues to Grow, Emerge as a Top National Immigration Law Firm
When Lorena Rivas first opened her Rivas & Associates doors in Tulsa’s well-known Kendall Whittier neighborhood in 2020, her staff totaled less than 15.
Today, Rivas & Associates has grown to a staff of over 100 attorneys and legal personnel committed to helping current and prospective clients on a day-to-day basis.
“Immigration law impacts a lot of people and hits individuals in many different ways,” Lorena Rivas said. “Our clients know we are a results-driven firm. We don’t just talk the talk. We are committed to finding the best course of action for each of our esteemed clients and their families.”
With a national and international presence, Rivas & Associates continues to help clients out in all pockets of the world. Though her offices are based in Tulsa, Rivas frequently travels abroad and has recently visited California, Florida, Texas, Missouri, and other spots.
Still, Rivas & Associates remains headquartered in Tulsa, and the well-known immigration firm has expanded its profile this fall in northeastern Oklahoma.
Lorena Rivas answers immigration-related questions twice a week at Tulsa-based radio stations 104.9 FM Que Buena Tulsa and 1380 AM Las Americas Tulsa. The prominent Tulsa immigration attorney also unveiled her first billboard along South Mingo Road between 41st and 51st streets in October.
“It has been an extremely busy year, but we are looking forward to an even busier year in 2023 helping out clients realize their American Dream,” Lorena Rivas said. “My staff and I relate to the clients who walk through our doors at Rivas & Associates. We are very fortunate to be able to help others out.”
