About

Antonio is passionate about immigration law, civil rights, and constitutional issues, as well as about the clients he represents. He founded Massa Viana Law with the goal of creating a firm guided by the principles of excellency in advocacy, mutual respect, and most importantly, of service.An immigrant himself who first moved to the United States when he was 12 years old, Antonio tackled the immigration system first in his own personal life. He discovered that many times, in order to succeed, you need to push the envelope and not give up, despite the odds. That vision is employed daily in his firm, where attorneys and staff are encouraged to seek creative legal solutions for difficult problems, even when the answers are not readily apparent.This never-give-up attitude allowed Antonio to become the first known undocumented immigrant attorney in Massachusetts. He attended Roger Williams University School of Law, where he was the first Latino Editor-in-Chief of the RWU Law Review, as well as winner of the Esther Clark and National Religious Freedom moot court competitions; he sat for the bar exam in both Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Rhode Island would postpone his bar admission until he became a legal resident, but Massachusetts swore him despite his lack of legal status. Antonio started practicing immediately in immigration removal defense.Antonio, together with his team, have helped hundreds of people—from those seeking refuge within our borders, to victims of violence and crimes, to those looking to once again be reunited with their loved ones—achieve their dreams of legal residency and citizenship.

When we gained a family member who is undocumented and I was struggling to help her, Antonio really came through for us! He is so knowledgeable and he really helped us with our legal situation. He was so patient with me as I was very stressed and he answered all questions.

The firm analyzed, put together, sent forms, and accompanied me on my adjustment of status - which was successful- on a reasonable timeframe.

Ice detainee one of my family member on June 2019, after I called several lawyers only 3-4 call me back and basically without meet in person or knowing more about our case they simple said they couldn’t take our case. I met with 2 other lawyers and I did not like or feel comfort with them at all, because several reasons one off big reason was they did not taking a time to look @ our papers and they did not provide any good answers or reasonable planning. I decide to call my regular lawyer and ask him if he could recommend someone to us and he’s highly recommend Antonio Viana from Massa Viana Law, I called Massa Viana law immediately and the secretary was so nice and she was very carefully on taking all my information and learn about our case, after that she immediately schedule any visit with Antonio. I met with Antonio for more than one hour, he’s took his time looking through all my papers and our case, after very carefully look through everything he was very honestly with me and told me up front all the possibility and how he will proceed, I honestly felt so good about him and most importantly your faith with our case. I signed the contract right there and I hired Massa Viana Law, was 99 days working with this company and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I talk to Antonio and he’s team every single day by text or call or email he’s walk me through on every single steps, and I felt so blessed to find a such good lawyer like Antonio. Doutor Antonio is an amazing man, brave man and very professional and honest. The entire Massa Viana Law team is amazing and very professional, they treat you like a family there and they care about you and your family. I highly recommend Massa Viana Law to any one. Thank you so much for the well done job! God blessed you all!

Antonio is an immigrant himself on top of being a superb immigration attorney. If any one knows the process and the immigration laws, its him. Antonio is currently helping my wife and I with a somewhat complicated case because it involves a waiver. We would never be able to do it on our own especially with the way the modern immigration system has become so complex and extremely complicated. Antonio and his staff are the best. They are very knowledgeable, caring, and honest. Antonio has got to be one of the best immigration lawyers out there right now along with his assistant attorney Caryn. If you have immigration matters that need to be resolved, don't hesitate to ask the experts themselves. One thing is for sure, dont try and do it in your own. You wont be disappointed with Antonio.
