Experience and Background

Immigration Attorney Mario Godoy focuses on family-based immigration law, business immigration law, removal defense and criminal defense representation of immigrants.
Born in Guatemala, Mario Godoy lived the true immigrant’s American Dream and success story. He came to the United States at only 6 months old, and his grandmother helped raise him while his young parents worked and went to school. Mario’s first language was Spanish, and he never spoke English until he went to school at age 6. As a child, he was inspired watching his father receive his Master’s Degree, while his mother opened her own hair salon.

With memories of a family member who was deported due to bad legal advice and seeing his family experience injustices that many immigrants face in the United States, Mario went to law school with the goal to be part of the solution. As a legal entrepreneur who practices immigration law, criminal law and estate and probate law, plus running 2 successful, thriving law firms, Mario’s goal is to help other immigrants achieve their American dream too.

As a husband, father and immigrant, Mario Godoy understands 1st hand the importance of keeping families together and making a home and a future in America.

Illinois Crimmigration Lawyer
Mario Godoy is an Illinois crimmigration lawyer. Crimmigration is defending immigrants charged with a criminal case. Mario has experience in successfully guiding documented and undocumented clients with immigration issues through a criminal case.

A criminal charge or conviction can be devastating to your immigration case. In some instances, it may mean the end of your opportunity to remain in the United States. Any time that you are facing pending charges or criminal convictions you should consult with an attorney experienced in both immigration law and criminal defense.

It is essential for immigration attorneys and defense attorneys to understand the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Record numbers of legal permanent residents and undocumented immigrants are being deported from the United States, often because of previous criminal convictions.

  • Mario is fully fluent in English and speaks at a native English level. His formal education was in English in the United States.
  • Se habla español. As a young child in Guatemala, Mario spoke his native language Spanish, and speaks, reads and writes Spanish.
