Freddie's Review

Immigration Was Personal Before It Became Alfredo Lozano’s Profession—and 6,000 Cases Later, It Still Is

Long before immigration law became Alfredo Lozano’s profession, it was part of his family’s story. He grew up as the son of Mexican immigrants from Sabinas, Coahuila, and later helped his own wife immigrate to the United States. He understands the system not only as an attorney, but as someone who has seen how deeply an immigration decision can affect a marriage, a family, a career, or the future of a business.

That personal foundation is backed by unusual professional depth. Lozano served four years in the United States Marine Corps before entering the legal profession. He studied law in Monterrey, Mexico, strengthened his command of legal Spanish, and interned with the Mexican Consulate in Houston. He is also Board Certified in Immigration and Nationality Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a formal recognition of specialized experience and knowledge in the field.

Lozano founded his firm to concentrate exclusively on immigration law. Across approximately 6,000 matters, his practice has represented families seeking lawful status, professionals pursuing employment opportunities, investors establishing businesses, and employers dependent on international talent. He also accompanies clients to immigration interviews in the United States, providing direct legal support during a stage when preparation, documentation, and clear answers can determine what happens next.

His record includes results that changed both personal and commercial futures. In one business-immigration matter, Lozano won the reversal of a certifying officer’s denial, allowing an employer to bring H-2B temporary workers into the country. In another case, a client came to the firm after someone else had repeatedly submitted paperwork that was returned. Lozano and his team corrected the problems and secured a prompt immigration-waiver approval on their first attempt.

The firm’s family-immigration work shows the human significance behind those legal processes. Lozano’s team guided a military family through parole in place, helping the service member’s spouse obtain permanent residence. Another client received employment authorization within four months and became a permanent resident five months later. The firm also secured second TN visas for a professional and her daughter, this time approved for four years, after preparing a package so complete that the client encountered only a brief consular interview.

Lozano has also shared his immigration knowledge with employers, investors, and professionals in the United States and Mexico, addressing investor visas, foreign workers, employer compliance, and the immigration options available to businesses expanding across the border. He was selected to the Texas Rising Stars list in 2014 and included among Forbes Advisor’s 10 Best Immigration Lawyers in San Antonio for 2025.

Public feedback gives consumers another substantial measure of the practice he built. Lozano maintains a 4.7-star Google rating based on 293 reviews—an impressive body of public response accompanying his board certification, extensive case experience, and firsthand understanding of immigration.

Alfredo Lozano’s defining strength is the connection between his life and his work. For a family pursuing lawful status, a military household trying to remain together, or a business seeking permission to employ or invest across borders, he brings specialized credentials, thousands of matters of experience, and an understanding that immigration is rarely just paperwork. It is often the legal process standing between a client and the life that client is working to build.

That combination of experience, reputation, verified professional standing, and public credibility is why Alfredo Lozano was included on FreddieFender.com.
