About Jorge E
Jorge E Sevilla grew up pursuing both liberal arts and the law. He completed a B.A. at Florida International University in 2009 and earned his J.D. from Florida International University College of Law the same year. Those consecutive degrees set the stage for a legal trajectory that mixes public service and private practice.
Early in his career he worked for the Department of Homeland Security in 2005, a position that placed him inside one of the primary federal agencies involved in immigration and border issues. The experience came before law school and informed his later professional interests.
After law school, Sevilla joined the bar community and became a member of The Florida Bar in 2013. He is admitted to practice in Florida and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. He also joined professional groups early, holding memberships in the American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division beginning in 2013, and the Orange County Bar since 2014. Those affiliations signaled a continued engagement with both local legal networks and national immigration practice circles.
In 2015 he founded Sevilla Law and has served as owner and managing lawyer since that year. He built the firm out of solo and small-firm practice experience, and he maintains involvement in local civic and business organizations. Sevilla has been a member of the Rotary Club of Horizons West and the Dr. Phillips Chamber of Commerce since 2020, and he joined the Florida Bar Solo & Small Firm Section that same year. The memberships reflect a blend of community ties and small-firm professional development.
Colleagues describe him as someone who moves between courtroom filings, administrative matters and client counseling. He works on matters that require both state and federal filings, and he appears before administrative agencies at times. His background at DHS and ongoing membership in AILA indicate regular professional contact with immigration law issues, while his memberships in county and solo-practice bar groups connect him to local litigation and small-business legal needs.
Sevilla balances running a small firm with involvement in bar and civic groups. He continues to practice in Florida and before the Eleventh Circuit and maintains an active role at Sevilla Law. He currently leads Sevilla Law, where he concentrates on immigration and related state and federal matters.
