About Daliah
Daliah Lugo-Auffant practices immigration law across federal and administrative forums. She is admitted to appear in the 11th and 1st U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, holds admission in Puerto Rico, and represents clients before the Executive Office for Immigration Review. Those credentials shape the contours of her work and the matters she accepts.
Her career has centered on immigration litigation and administrative advocacy. She has developed familiarity with appellate procedures and immigration court practice. That experience informs how she prepares cases for the different stages of review, from hearings before immigration judges to briefs filed in circuit courts.
She is an active member of professional associations related to her field. Memberships keep her connected to ongoing developments in federal practice, statutory change, and evolving case law from the circuits where she appears. Her participation in those groups also provides a forum for collaboration with other lawyers who handle appeals and removal-defense matters.
Colleagues and clients have described her approach as meticulous and procedural. She pays attention to filing deadlines, standard of review issues, and the distinctions between administrative records and materials the courts will consider. Her litigation work requires attention to both fact development before the EOIR and legal argument in appellate briefs.
Her practice covers a range of immigration matters that commonly arise in removal proceedings and appeals. She handles case preparation and representation in immigration court, files appellate briefs in the 1st and 11th Circuits, and works on matters that originate in Puerto Rico. She also engages in case strategy that aligns administrative remedies with potential federal litigation when circumstances require it.
Daliah operates from DLA Immigration Services LLC. There she manages client intake, case management, and court filings. She continues to represent individuals and families in proceedings before the EOIR and in federal appellate courts, and she maintains active membership in professional associations related to immigration practice. She currently concentrates her practice on appeals in the 11th and 1st Circuits, proceedings before the EOIR, and immigration matters arising in Puerto Rico.
