At Minakan-Stafford Law Group, we help individuals and families navigate the immigration system with dignity, strength, and hope.

Our immigration practice is rooted in the belief that every person deserves safety, stability, and the opportunity to build a future. Whether you’re seeking asylum, facing deportation, applying for legal status, or trying to reunite with your family, we are here to stand beside you and fight for your rights.

We represent clients in a wide range of immigration matters, including:

• Removal (deportation) defense

• Asylum and humanitarian relief

• Family-based immigration

• Adjustment of status and green card applications

• Naturalization and citizenship

• Immigration consequences of criminal convictions (crim-imm)

• DACA, TPS, and special immigrant juvenile status (SIJS)

Immigration cases are not just legal matters — they are deeply personal. The stakes are high, and the system can feel overwhelming. That’s why Ying Stafford brings not only legal expertise, but also cultural humility, trauma-informed advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to each client’s future.

Whether you’re just beginning your journey or fighting to stay in the place you call home, we’re here to protect your future, empower your voice, and help you find a path forward.
