Origin: A Mother-Son Practice Built Over Two Decades
Gloria Goldman earned her J.D. from the University of Arizona in 1990 and has practiced immigration and nationality law in Tucson since 1991 — 35 years in the field. Her son, Maurice “Mo” Goldman, earned a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University in 1996 and a joint J.D./M.B.A. from Hofstra University, began his own immigration practice in 2000, and relocated from Garden City, New York, to join his mother’s Tucson practice in 2005. The firm has operated as a family partnership ever since.
Practice Areas
The firm handles family-based immigration, deportation and removal matters, citizenship and naturalization, employment-based immigration, asylum and refugee cases, humanitarian relief, and immigrant investor matters. Both attorneys are bilingual (English and Spanish) and the firm offers weekend consultations by appointment.
Track Record
Immigration outcomes depend on individual case facts and current agency policy, so there’s no independent case table to cite. The Goldmans’ public professional record instead runs through more than three decades of combined continuous practice and sustained leadership roles within the national immigration bar itself.
Note: Immigration relief depends on the specific facts of each case and current law. Past results do not guarantee any future outcome.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not locate individually attributable, quotable client reviews for Goldman Immigration on major platforms as of the research date; the firm holds an accredited profile with the Better Business Bureau (file opened 2006), reflecting a sustained, formally registered local business presence rather than a large public review footprint.
Community
Gloria Goldman served more than 10 years on the Board of Governors of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), received the U.S. Department of Justice’s Meritorious Service Award in 1998 (presented by then-Attorney General Janet Reno), and was selected by the Arizona Supreme Court to receive its Pro Bono Attorney of the Year Award in 2016. Mo Goldman is a past chair of AILA’s Arizona chapter (2007–2009), currently chairs AILA’s national media advocacy committee, serves as a trustee to the American Immigration Council, and received AILA’s 2010 Joseph Minsky Young Lawyer Award and 2011 President’s Commendation for Outstanding Volunteer Service.
Recognition
Gloria Goldman has been named to Best Lawyers in America by peer nomination for several years and has held a Southwest Super Lawyers selection every year since 2007 — both peer-influenced, research-driven credentials. Neither attorney holds an Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certification, since Arizona doesn’t certify immigration law as a specialty; their AILA leadership roles and sustained peer-review recognition are the most directly relevant credentials available in this field.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Immigration law is governed by the federal Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1101 et seq.), so most of the firm’s work runs through federal statute and USCIS/immigration court procedure rather than Arizona state law. Arizona employers must verify work eligibility through E-Verify under A.R.S. § 23-214, relevant to the firm’s employment-based immigration work specifically.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
The Goldmans’ genuine strength is depth built over two generations and more than three decades combined, reinforced by sustained, substantive leadership within AILA itself — not just membership, but board governance, national committee chairs, and DOJ-level recognition for pro bono service.
The honest caveat: as a small, family-run practice, capacity is inherently more limited than a larger firm — clients with a complex matter requiring significant document review or multiple concurrent proceedings should ask directly about current caseload and staffing.
