Pasifika Immigration Law Group

What Pasifika Immigration Law Group does

Pasifika Immigration Law Group is a full-service immigration law firm headquartered at 923 Van Ness Ave in Fresno, California, organized as a Limited Liability Partnership. The firm was founded by Leah Nagler Tuisavalalo and has been operating since at least 2012, currently employing three attorneys and an office manager. It serves individual immigrant clients across the United States and internationally, with a particular focus on Pacific Islander, Samoan, and broader immigrant communities. The firm provides representation across the full spectrum of immigration law, including deportation and removal defense, asylum, citizenship and naturalization, family-based petitions, consular processing, DACA, U and T visas for crime victims, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, Parole in Place for military families, and appellate work before the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Multilingual consultations are offered in Spanish, Russian, and Samoan.

The firm operates a community-led go-to-market motion, conducting free consultations at workshops hosted by the Samoan Community Development Center, the Office of Samoan Affairs, and cultural events such as the Pacific Islander Festival, complemented by an educational blog covering DACA, green cards, citizenship, and other immigration topics. Geographic reach is delivered through in-person consultations at the Fresno headquarters and satellite locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake City, supplemented by nationwide and international phone consultations. All three attorneys bring personal immigrant backgrounds that strengthen cultural credibility with target communities.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services, specifically attorney consultations and case representation priced on a quote basis tied to case complexity; no fee schedules are publicly disclosed. The firm has no external funding, no technology platform, and no proprietary products, and operates as a privately held partnership with no public listing. Its competitive position rests on attorney expertise, multilingual and cultural capability, professional credentials (including AILA membership and Ninth Circuit admission), and deep grassroots trust within Pacific Islander communities rather than any technology-based advantage.
