A San Antonio Immigration Attorney Practicing Inside an Established Business Litigation Firm

Inside Pulman, Cappuccio & Pullen, LLP, where attorney Kerry Alleyne Simmons handles a genuine, substantial immigration caseload — roughly a third of her overall practice by her own account — alongside bankruptcy and family law, inside a firm otherwise known for business litigation.

KERRY ALLEYNE SIMMONS AT PULMAN, CAPPUCCIO & PULLEN — AT A GLANCE

Sources: pulmanlaw.com (firm website), State Bar of Texas Find a Lawyer directory, Super Lawyers, Avvo. Compiled August 2026.

ORIGIN

A San Antonio Immigration Attorney’s Path From Collections to the Bar

Kerry Alleyne graduated from Rutgers University in 2001 with a B.A. in political science, then worked in the collections department of a major financial institution before earning her law degree from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta in May 2008. She graduated third in her class and received the Wig and Gavel Award, presented to the student faculty and peers nominate as most likely to succeed in practice; she also served as a Dean’s Fellow teaching legal research and writing to first-year students. She was licensed to practice in Texas in November 2008.

Awesome Attorneys independently confirmed Simmons’s current position through the firm’s own website, which lists her directly on its attorney roster — a verification step this publication takes for every attorney profiled at a larger, multi-practice firm rather than relying on secondary directory listings alone.

THE MODEL

An Immigration Practice Inside a Business Litigation Firm

Pulman, Cappuccio & Pullen, LLP is a San Antonio firm whose broader reputation centers on business litigation, corporate law, and health care law, with four attorneys named to Super Lawyers lists. Simmons’s own practice within the firm spans bankruptcy, family law, and immigration in roughly even measure by her self-reported breakdown, rather than the firm operating a dedicated, multi-attorney immigration department. Prospective immigration clients should understand they would be working with one attorney whose caseload is split across three distinct practice areas, not a firm-wide immigration team.

PRACTICE

Where This San Antonio Immigration Attorney Concentrates

Simmons’s immigration work covers family-based petitions, asylum, removal defense, bond hearings, adjustment of status, and Temporary Protected Status, per her own practice-area summary. This is a defense-and-benefits docket rather than a business-immigration specialty.

TRACK RECORD

What Can — and Cannot — Be Verified

As with immigration practice generally, there is no jury-verdict or settlement-figure record to report, and Awesome Attorneys did not have access to USCIS or immigration court case-level data.

CLIENT VOICE

No Meaningful Review Record Located

Awesome Attorneys was not able to locate a meaningful independent review record for Simmons specifically; her Avvo profile shows no client reviews as of this writing. This is a genuine data gap, and this profile discloses it directly rather than substituting the parent firm’s general reputation for an assessment of her individual immigration practice.

BEYOND THE PRACTICE

Firm-Level Recognition

While Awesome Attorneys did not find individual peer-recognition awards specific to Simmons, Pulman, Cappuccio & Pullen as a firm has four attorneys named to Super Lawyers lists, primarily in business litigation and related practice areas — a signal of overall firm quality that does not necessarily extend to every practice area the firm covers.

RECOGNITION

No Board Certification to Report

Awesome Attorneys did not find a Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification on record for Kerry Alleyne Simmons in immigration, bankruptcy, or family law. Consistent with this publication’s standing policy, the words “specialist” and “board certified” are reserved for attorneys with documented, independently verified TBLS certification, and are not used here.

THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION BACKDROP

What Texas Residents Should Know

Immigration law is federal, not state, law. Family-based petitions are governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act and adjudicated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, while removal proceedings and bond hearings run through the federal immigration courts operated by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. San Antonio falls within the jurisdiction of the USCIS San Antonio Field Office and the San Antonio Immigration Court, with appeals routing through the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. None of this is legal advice; immigration status questions are consequential enough to warrant review by a licensed attorney based on the specific facts of a case.

AWESOME ATTORNEYS ASSESSMENT

A Genuine but Divided Immigration Practice, Inside a Firm Known for Other Work

Kerry Alleyne Simmons’s immigration work is genuine and substantial — by her own account, roughly a third of her overall caseload — rather than an incidental add-on, and Awesome Attorneys independently confirmed her current standing directly through the firm’s own site. The honest limitation is real, however: she divides her practice across bankruptcy, family law, and immigration, and the firm’s broader institutional reputation and Super Lawyers recognition center on business litigation rather than immigration specifically. Awesome Attorneys also could not locate a meaningful independent client-review record specific to her practice. Readers can compare this firm against other San Antonio attorneys in the Awesome Attorneys directory.

This is an attorney best suited to clients who want the institutional backing of an established, multi-practice San Antonio firm and are comfortable working with an immigration attorney whose caseload spans multiple practice areas, rather than clients seeking a dedicated immigration-only specialist.

METHODOLOGY & SOURCING

This San Antonio immigration attorney profile draws on Pulman, Cappuccio & Pullen’s own website (pulmanlaw.com), Kerry Alleyne Simmons’s official State Bar of Texas practitioner listing, her Avvo profile, and Super Lawyers firm data as of August 2026. Her current firm affiliation was independently confirmed against the firm’s own attorney roster rather than accepted from secondary directories alone. Awesome Attorneys did not have access to USCIS case-level data and makes no claim about her approval rate.
