Law Office of Scott A Mossman

Specialties

We are an Oakland immigration law firm with a practice focused on services for immigrants who have had a criminal arrest or conviction at some point in their life. Our services for those immigrants include marriage– and family-​based immigration, naturalization, deportation defense, and immigration advice on pending criminal charges.

We also believe that attorneys have a professional responsibility to provide pro bono (free) services. We gladly fulfill that responsibility by offering a free monthly naturalization clinic. At that clinic we screen immigrants for eligibility to naturalize to U.S. citizenship and help them prepare and file their N-​400 forms. We also help with requests for waiver of the government filing fees, where appropriate. The clinics are on Saturdays by appointment only.
