Rita Rsostrin

If you've achieved something extraordinary — in science, medicine, academia, arts and entertainment, or business and technology — your immigration path should reflect that. For over 25 years, I've pursued winning complex, high-stakes immigration cases for individuals and organizations whose work stands apart. My clients include leading academic institutions, major medical centers, and top entertainment companies navigating employment-based immigration, with a concentrated focus on visas for individuals of extraordinary ability and achievement. I've spent decades developing the legal arguments, case strategy, and institutional relationships to get results in matters others find daunting. That track record has earned recognition from the profession's most trusted sources:• "Lawyer of the Year" — Immigration Law, Los Angeles (Best Lawyers of America)• "Thought Leader" — The Lexology Index (formerly Who's Who of Corporate Immigration Lawyers)• Chambers USA  |  Best Lawyers in America  |  U.S. News & World Report Best Lawyers• Women of Influence: Attorneys 2024 — Los Angeles Business Journal Beyond client work, I am an active voice in shaping immigration law and policy. I've served in senior leadership roles on behalf of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), edited landmark publications including Kurzban's Immigration Law Sourcebook, and spoken at international, national, and regional conferences. Journalists at The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg Law, Politico, Billboard, NPR, PBS, and The Globe & Mail regularly seek my commentary on the issues redefining immigration today. In a policy environment that grows more restrictive and complex by the day, I bring clarity, strategic depth, and a demonstrated record of winning for my clients.
