Immigration

The Law Office of Todd Becraft was founded with a clear mission: to provide exceptional legal representation to immigrants and their families. Over the past two decades, that mission has never wavered.

From our offices on Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles, we have helped thousands of individuals navigate the complex U.S. immigration system. Whether our clients are seeking asylum from persecution, fighting deportation, reuniting with family members, or pursuing the dream of U.S. citizenship, we bring the same level of dedication, expertise, and personal attention to every case.

What sets us apart is our exclusive focus on immigration law. While many firms spread their attention across multiple practice areas, we have chosen to dedicate our entire practice to immigration. This singular focus means we stay at the forefront of constantly changing immigration law and policy, giving our clients a critical advantage.

Our team members come from diverse backgrounds, and several are immigrants themselves. We understand the challenges our clients face — not just legally, but personally. That lived experience shapes our empathy, our urgency, and our unwavering commitment to every person who walks through our doors.

Prior to that, Mr. Becraft worked closely with Judy Wood, widely known as "Saint Judy," whose remarkable advocacy was portrayed in the motion picture of the same name.

Mr. Becraft has successfully represented thousands of clients in asylum, deportation defense, cancellation of removal, family-based immigration, and federal court appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
