MIAMI, FL, June 26, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Claudia Canizares, Esq., has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Mrs. Canizares has distinguished herself as a leading immigration attorney in Miami, where she serves as managing partner at Canizares Law Group, LLC. Since founding her firm in 2017, she has dedicated herself to managing its caseload, supervising attorneys and staff, and ensuring that her clients receive the highest quality legal representation. Her expertise in immigration law is not only a testament to her professional dedication but also to her personal commitment to making an impact on individuals' lives.
Perhaps Mrs. Canizares's earliest introduction to the legal field was within her own family; her mother was an attorney, and her grandmother was a judge. Her own legal career began at the FM Law Group, where she worked as law clerk during law school. She went on to hold a pivotal role as an attorney at Law Offices of Sandra Enchevarria, LLC, where she discovered her passion for immigration law. Prior to establishing Canizares Law Group, LLC, she served as an associate attorney at Immigration Group, LLC, where she honed her skills and gained valuable experience in the field.
Mrs. Canizares's commitment to her profession is further demonstrated by her active membership in prestigious organizations such as the American Bar Association and the American Immigration Lawyers Association. These affiliations have provided her with a platform to stay informed about the latest developments in immigration law and to contribute to the discourse on important legal issues affecting immigrants.
In recognition of her accomplishments, Mrs. Canizares's leadership has received numerous awards and commendations; among them, she was named one of the 22 Powerful Women in the City of Miami in 2024, received a certificate of merit from the mayor of Hialeah in 2023, and was listed as One of the Most Influential People by People Magazine in 2019. Furthermore, her firm has been named One of the 10 Best Law Firms for Immigration Law by the American Institute of Legal Counsel every year since 2017.
One of Mrs. Canizares's most notable achievements came in 2019 when she took on a groundbreaking initiative to assist Cubans who had entered the United States without being issued parole. Demonstrating exceptional legal acumen and dedication, she argued that these immigrants should be issued parole and have the opportunity to become residents. By late 2021, she and another attorney successfully presented a class action in a local district court in Florida, leading the federal court to grant parole to over 200,000 individuals.
Mrs. Canizares's journey is marked by significant educational achievements that have underpinned her career success. She earned her Doctor of Jurisprudence cum laude from Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center in 2012 after completing her Bachelor of Science in criminal justice summa cum laude from Florida International University in 2009. Her academic journey began with an associate degree from Miami Dade College. In addition, Mrs. Canizares was licensed by the Florida Supreme Court to practice law in 2012.
Born in Cuba, Mrs. Canizares harbors a passion for traveling that not only enriches her life but also broadens her perspective—a quality that enhances her empathy and understanding towards her clients' diverse backgrounds. Looking ahead, she envisions continued growth for Canizares Law Group, LLC, so she may help more clients navigate immigration challenges in the United States.
