The Marine Who Became San Antonio’s Board-Certified Immigration Attorney

Inside Lozano Law Firm, the San Antonio immigration attorney practice built by a first-generation American and Marine Corps veteran who traded a deportation-defense caseload for a firm dedicated exclusively to keeping families and workers on the right side of federal immigration law.

ORIGIN

A San Antonio Immigration Attorney on Both Sides of the Desk

Alfredo Lozano did not arrive at immigration law as an abstract career choice. He is a first-generation American, raised in San Antonio by parents who immigrated from Sabinas, Coahuila, Mexico, and he later helped his own wife immigrate to the United States — a detail the firm cites directly, not as a marketing flourish but as the reason the practice exists at all. Before law school, Lozano served four years in the United States Marine Corps. He earned a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1997, then a J.D. from Texas Southern University, supplementing his legal education with coursework at the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico to sharpen his Spanish-language legal fluency.

His early legal career moved through firms in Houston, Beaumont, and Corpus Christi, along with an internship at the Mexican Consulate in Houston. He then spent time at a San Antonio firm handling deportation defense before launching his own practice — one built, in his words, to focus exclusively on immigration law rather than treating it as one line item among several. That distinction matters in a market where general-practice firms frequently list immigration as an ancillary service; Lozano Law Firm’s entire docket, staffing, and marketing infrastructure are built around nothing else.

Lozano holds Board Certification in Immigration and Nationality Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization — a credential Awesome Attorneys independently verified through his official State Bar of Texas practitioner listing and his Super Lawyers profile, both of which list the TBLS certification directly rather than relying on the firm’s own marketing copy. That independent verification is the same standard Awesome Attorneys applies to every San Antonio immigration attorney profiled in this directory before printing the word “board certified.” TBLS certification requires a minimum number of years in practice, a substantial showing of case experience in the specialty, peer review, and a written examination; fewer than five percent of Texas attorneys who touch immigration law hold it, which is the standard this publication uses before ever printing the word “specialist” next to an attorney’s name.

THE MODEL

One Practice Area, Four Border-Region Offices

Lozano Law Firm’s footprint reflects South and Central Texas rather than a single downtown tower. The San Antonio office — the firm’s headquarters, just off Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 near the University of Texas at San Antonio — is joined by satellite offices in Eagle Pass, San Angelo, and Laredo, three markets with substantial cross-border client bases. The firm states that its team, led by Lozano alongside attorneys Linda Hamilton and Carlos Vázquez, is fully bilingual, and that every file is assigned both a primary attorney and a dedicated case manager rather than being routed through a generalized intake queue.

The firm has also drawn a clear, publicly posted boundary around its current caseload: as of this writing, its website states it is not accepting new deportation or asylum cases. Awesome Attorneys treats that as a material fact for prospective clients rather than an omission to gloss over — a firm built on immigration law is not obligated to accept every immigration matter, and the more useful signal is that Lozano Law Firm says so plainly on its own site rather than taking intake calls it does not intend to staff.

PRACTICE

Where This San Antonio Immigration Attorney Concentrates

The firm organizes its work into two tracks. On the family side, it handles fiancé(e) visas (K-1), marriage-based green cards, VAWA self-petitions for survivors of abuse, consular processing, adjustment of status, DACA filings, hardship waivers, and Military Parole in Place for the relatives of active-duty service members and veterans — a category Lozano’s own Marine Corps background makes a natural specialty rather than a bolted-on service line. On the business side, the firm advises employers and investors on H-1B specialty-occupation visas, TN professional visas under the USMCA, E-2 treaty-investor visas, EB-5 investor green cards, PERM labor certification, and I-9 employer-compliance audits.

That breadth is common among boutique immigration practices; what distinguishes the firm’s public positioning is the emphasis on flat, disclosed fees rather than hourly billing by default, and on direct attorney involvement in interviews — the firm states Lozano personally attends USCIS interviews with clients, which not every immigration practice does as a matter of course.

TRACK RECORD

What Can — and Cannot — Be Verified

Immigration law does not generate jury verdicts or settlement figures the way personal injury litigation does, so the usual per-case results table does not apply here. The most concrete outcome data available is anecdotal and client-reported: reviewers describe specific approvals, including a marriage-based adjustment of status completed in roughly nine months and a TN visa renewal approved for a four-year term. Awesome Attorneys was not able to independently verify individual case timelines or approval rates through USCIS records, which are not public on a firm-by-firm basis, and readers should treat any specific processing-time figures in client reviews as one client’s reported experience rather than a guaranteed outcome.

CLIENT VOICE

A Strong Composite — With One Sharp Exception

The firm carries a 4.6-star aggregate rating across more than 275 Google reviews as of this writing. The dominant theme in the reviews is communication: clients repeatedly credit specific staff members and paralegals by name for keeping them updated through multi-month cases, and several describe the firm’s bilingual service as central to their decision to hire it. One reviewer, Ruth Gomez, described a nine-month residency process from consultation to approval and credited the firm’s attentiveness to detail. Another, Vanessa Hernandez, reported a second TN visa approval for herself and her daughter after a consular interview she described as unusually brief because of how thoroughly the firm’s supporting documentation had been prepared.

Not every review is favorable, and the record includes at least one detailed, credible complaint worth printing rather than omitting. Reviewer Jaquelyn Bidlack described missing a scheduled consultation call after taking a lunch break from work to be available for it, then being told by staff that she was not in the firm’s system for a call at all and that the firm does not handle her type of case — despite, she wrote, having documentation showing otherwise. Awesome Attorneys could not independently adjudicate the dispute between the firm’s intake process and the client’s account; it is included here because a single sharp negative alongside a strong composite rating is more informative than a scrubbed record, and prospective clients scheduling an initial consultation may want to confirm the appointment closer to the date.

BEYOND THE PRACTICE

Community Standing and Media Presence

The firm states it runs a weekly Facebook Live series in which Lozano answers immigration questions directly from the public, and it has been referenced in regional and national outlets including the San Antonio Express-News, Univision, Fox News, and Law360, according to the firm’s own “As Seen On” listing — media citations Awesome Attorneys was able to confirm existed as coverage categories but did not independently re-verify article by article. Lozano is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the State Bar of Texas, and the San Antonio Bar Association. Outside the practice, he is a licensed private pilot pursuing an instrument rating and an active member of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association — a detail the firm frames as reflecting the same discipline it brings to case preparation, for whatever that connection is worth to a prospective client.

RECOGNITION

One Real Credential, Clearly Sourced

The credential that matters most here is the one independently confirmed: Board Certification in Immigration and Nationality Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, verified on Lozano’s official State Bar of Texas listing rather than taken solely from the firm’s marketing pages. Super Lawyers has also included Lozano in its Texas immigration listings, a peer-nomination and independent-research process distinct from pay-to-play marketing awards. Awesome Attorneys did not find evidence of AV Peer Review ratings or Best Lawyers inclusion for Lozano as of this writing, and does not attribute either to him.

THE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION BACKDROP

What Texas Residents Should Know

Immigration law is federal, not state, law — a fact worth stating plainly because it means Texas courts and the Texas Legislature have no authority to grant visas, green cards, or citizenship, regardless of what state-level immigration enforcement measures may be in the news. Family-based and employment-based petitions are governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and adjudicated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a federal agency, while removal proceedings run through the federal immigration courts operated by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. San Antonio sits within the jurisdiction of the USCIS San Antonio Field Office and the San Antonio Immigration Court, and appeals from both ultimately route through the federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals — the same appellate circuit Lozano’s State Bar of Texas listing shows him admitted to practice before. None of this is legal advice, and immigration status questions are consequential enough that they warrant a licensed attorney’s review of the specific facts, not general information from a directory profile.

AWESOME ATTORNEYS ASSESSMENT

A Focused Practice With a Publicly Drawn Boundary

As a San Antonio immigration attorney practice, Lozano Law Firm’s clearest strength is specialization stacked on specialization: an attorney whose credentials are independently verifiable as board-certified, at a firm that does nothing but immigration law, with a bilingual staff and a four-office footprint built around the specific corridor of South and Central Texas it serves. Readers comparing options can see how this firm stacks up against other San Antonio attorneys in the Awesome Attorneys directory. The firm’s own decision to stop taking new deportation and asylum cases is worth naming as a real trade-off rather than a footnote — it means the firm’s current strength is concentrated in family- and employment-based petitions rather than the full spectrum of immigration practice, and clients facing removal proceedings will need to look elsewhere for representation. The Bidlack review is a second honest data point: a firm handling a high review volume at a 4.6-star average is still capable of dropping an intake call, and a prospective client should confirm consultation logistics directly rather than assume the automated reminder system is sufficient.

Taken together, this is a firm best suited to families pursuing marriage-, fiancée-, or VAWA-based petitions, employers navigating H-1B or PERM filings, and investors pursuing E-2 or EB-5 status — not to individuals currently in removal proceedings or seeking asylum representation, which the firm has stated it is not presently staffing.

METHODOLOGY & SOURCING

This San Antonio immigration attorney profile draws on the firm’s own website (abogadolozano.com), Alfredo Lozano’s official State Bar of Texas practitioner listing, his Super Lawyers profile, and Google reviews of the firm as of August 2026. Board certification was independently verified against the State Bar of Texas record rather than accepted from firm marketing alone. Client reviews quoted or summarized are attributed to their named or handle-identified authors and reflect individual client experiences, not verified case outcomes. Awesome Attorneys did not have access to USCIS case-level data and makes no claim about the firm’s approval rate.
