About Paul
Paul Choquette trained as a language major before turning to the law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages from Union College in 1985 and completed his J.D. at the University of the Pacific in 1989. Those academic choices set a practical tone for a career that would combine legal counsel with cross-cultural matters.
He moved into practice in the early 1990s and took on a leadership role fairly quickly. In 1992 he became the managing lawyer at Choquette Immigration Law Group. That position put him at the center of a small firm handling immigration-related legal work. Over the years he has maintained the administrative responsibilities that come with managing a practice, while also attending to client matters.
Choquette holds membership in professional associations and has been affiliated with at least one organization since 1992. He remains a member of current professional groups serving lawyers and immigration practitioners. Those connections have kept him plugged into legal developments and peer networks.
Colleagues describe his approach as steady and matter-of-fact. He blends courtroom preparedness with the paperwork side of immigration practice. His background in modern languages has been useful when dealing with matters that cross borders or involve clients whose first language is not English. That linguistic training shapes how he communicates with clients and approaches fact-finding.
Across his career he has balanced firm management with client work. Managing day-to-day operations, supervising case flow and handling ethical and regulatory obligations are part of the job. At the same time he has advised individuals and families seeking relief through the immigration system and handled administrative processes required by federal immigration authorities.
Despite the administrative duties that come with running a firm, Choquette continues to take direct responsibility for client files. He is based in Washington and practices under the Choquette Immigration Law Group name. His file work and managerial tasks reflect long experience in the field.
He remains active in his profession and continues to respond to changes in immigration law and policy. His practice focuses on immigration law.
