About Priscilla
Priscilla Higuera builds her practice on courtroom work and written advocacy. She earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nevada–Reno in 2009 and a Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law in 2014. Those credentials led her into practice during a period of shifting immigration rules and evolving appellate precedent.
Early in her career she trained in courtroom procedure and appellate briefing. Admission to the Executive Office for Immigration Review allows her to represent clients in immigration courts. Admission to the Ninth Circuit and to the California bar permits appellate work and state-level representation as circumstances require. Those admissions shape the kinds of matters she takes and the venues where she appears.
Higuera’s work spans litigation and case preparation. She prepares filings for administrative hearings, drafts appellate briefs and handles courtroom appearances. Her record shows experience across administrative and judicial forums rather than transactional work. She often navigates evidentiary questions and procedural timelines that can determine case outcomes.
Colleagues describe her approach as methodical. She breaks complex rules into discrete tasks and sets deadlines that align with filing calendars. She pays attention to record-building during the early stages of a case. That attention matters when a matter moves from an immigration judge to an appellate court.
Outside of casework she remains active in professional networks and attends continuing education to keep pace with changing law. She has current memberships in professional organizations. Those engagements provide a regular check on practice trends and procedural developments.
Higuera practices through Higuera Law. She has worked on matters that require coupled knowledge of administrative procedure and appellate practice. Clients who need representation before immigration authorities or who face appeals in the Ninth Circuit frequently find those connections relevant. She combines courtroom experience with a familiarity for the administrative processes that lead to appealable decisions.
Her practice continues at Higuera Law, where she represents clients before immigration courts, in the Ninth Circuit and in California state matters. Current practice focuses on immigration and appellate representation.
