Patricia G. Gittelson

I am a Spanish speaking Immigration attorney with my own practice since June, 2003.
I do not charge for consultations because I believe the community needs answers without having to give up feeding their family.
I do asylum cases for recent arrivals in Immigration Court as well as appeals up to the Ninth Circuit of Appeals.
Citizenship and adjustment of status and consular processing are also a large part of my practice.
I also represent people who have suffered domestic violence or are victims of crime and unaccompanied minors in obtaining a Special Juvenile Immigrant Visa, then permanent residency and finally citizenship.
I speak at schools, churches and groups to give information.

List of groups I am associated with:

Member of the American Bar Association
Member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)
Member of the Federal Bar Association
Member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association
Member of the Better Business Bureau
Assista
San Fernando Valley Bar Association
Member of the National Immigration Project

Rosanna Santizo

My name is Rosanna Santizo. I was born in Guatemala, I emigrated to the United States in the 1990s, since I arrived in this country I had the great blessing of working with offices dedicated to immigration processes and that is how little by little I have been obtaining knowledge and experience in the immigration field. I have more than 30 years of experience, which life has allowed me, thanks to God and the people I have worked with who have given me the opportunity to expand my knowledge and I continue to learn day by day, because in matters of immigration laws, there is always something new to learn.

My work is one of my passions, it fills me with joy and satisfaction every time a case is approved and one more person obtains the legal documents, it is like another dream come true. I’m in charge of preparing USCIS forms and supporting documents and the Consular Process too.

I joined Attorney Patricia Gittelson’s team in 2019, where they made me feel like another member of that family, we are a small but strong team, the relationship with Attorney Gittelson and my coworkers is a family atmosphere, and I’m glad to be able to belong to the Gittelson team.

Gloria Saucedo

My name is Gloria Saucedo. I was born and raised in Guatemala. In 1991 I came to the U.S. In 1993, I started to work in the Immigration field. In 2003, when Ms. Gittelson was just a few months since she started her private practice, Attorney Gittelson and I started to work together and from September 2003 until today we kept working together as more than a team, as a family. Through the years of experience I have earned in this journey, I can tell from the bottom of my heart that I love my job because it gives me the satisfaction to help people with the best of my abilities that in the same way as me, has come to this blessed country seeking the American dream and a safe place to live.

My role in the office is to help Ms. Gittelson to prepare the proper documentation required by the immigration court and make her job flawless as it needs it as the laws are changing constantly. Our office keeps equipping us with new information through webinars and training, as new information is coming out so we can keep up with any changes. For me, the Office of Patricia Gittleson is my family because we all have grown old together as one team!
