About Salvador Lopez
Salvador Lopez Barr practices immigration law in Washington. He handles a wide range of matters that touch people's lives: removal defense, family-based petitions, naturalization, and various nonimmigrant and immigrant visa matters. He appears before federal immigration courts and at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of individuals and families seeking lawful status.
He completed his legal training before beginning practice in Washington and is admitted to practice in that jurisdiction. Early in his career he worked on intake and case development, learning the routines of immigration court calendars and the draftsmanship required for petitions and waivers. Those early years shaped his practical approach to case preparation and courtroom practice.
Over time he developed experience in both administrative advocacy and litigation. He represents respondents in removal proceedings, files motions and appeals where appropriate, and prepares applications for relief such as cancellation of removal and asylum when circumstances warrant. He also prepares family-based immigrant petitions and naturalization applications, managing the paperwork and interviews those processes require. His clients include recent arrivals, long-term residents, and family members seeking reunification.
Colleagues describe him as steady in court and precise on paper. He favors careful fact development and clear legal arguments. That translates into detailed affidavits, timely filings, and attention to changing procedural rules. In cases that move to litigation, he works with expert witnesses and prepares testimony. In administrative matters, he handles responses to agency requests and represents clients at interviews and hearings.
He practices out of the Immigration Law Office of SLB in Washington. The office assists clients at various stages of the immigration process, from initial consultations to final adjudications. He manages case strategy, prepares filings, and represents clients before immigration authorities. He continues to take new cases and represents clients across a spectrum of immigration matters.
His current practice concentrates on removal defense, family immigration petitions, naturalization matters, and related administrative advocacy.
