Why Marva De Armas deserves it

Nominated for

The Power Partnership Award for Exceptional Collaboration in Immigration Law

Presented to a duo of two individuals whose partnership in immigration law produced something greater together than either could alone.

Brother-and-sister attorney duo Marvin de Armas and Marva de Armas exemplify the power of partnership, having boldly chosen the absolute best possible time to start a new law firm: February 2020, just as the world was about to become famously calm and predictable. Since then, they've transformed that uncertain beginning into De Armas & De Armas Law, a powerhouse family-based immigration firm in Detroit. I've seen the hard work they do for their clients in removal defense and asylum, and I could not be happier to see them build a firm that courage and commitment.
