Fernanda Cortes, Esq.
Founder and Managing Attorney
Fernanda Cortes is the founder of Cortes Immigration Law Firm, a boutique law firm in the heart of Orlando. Having worked for other law firms before founding her own, Attorney Cortes realized that one of the most important aspects of providing legal services is making sure the attorney is accessible to clients when they need it. The focus of the firm is personalized attention.
As an immigrant herself, she has firsthand experience of how daunting an immigration process can be, so she understands her clients' needs and expectations. Her approach is based on service provided with empathy and timely responses.
Attorney Cortes is licensed by The Florida Bar and the District of Columbia Bar, and she is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Born and raised in Brazil, she graduated from law school in 2002 and worked in the legal department of one of the country's largest financial institutions before moving to the U.S. in 2005. She also graduated from law school in the U.S. and has been practicing exclusively in the area of immigration.
A learner at heart, Attorney Cortes recently earned a master's degree in Business Administration. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, especially traveling around the world to feed her passion for history and different cultures.
