About
I am a native of Brazil who moved to Southern California in 1991, where I got my B.A. with Honors from UCI, and then my JD from Whittier Law School, also in Irvine, CA. During my law school studies I focused on private & public international law, taking a semester in Paris, France, through a program offered by Tulane Law School at the Université de Paris II. Upon graduation, I was very blessed to have been interviewed by numerous top firms in NYC, DC and Miami, and chose to join Holland & Knight in Miami, in 1999. I passed both the FL & NY Bars in my first attempt (and waived into the DC Bar) and worked at the International Business Department of H&K and thereafter, at Fowler White Burnett. In October 2001, I decided to open up my own firm and have since focused on business & family based immigration law, personal injury, uncontested divorces and some aspects of real estate transactions and international tax. Over 17 years now, we have accumulated numerous success stories, always offering very personalized attention to all of our clients, having their success, invariably, as our main goal. The vast majority of our clients are Brazilian nationals migrating to Florida, but we also have clients in several other States. Our detail oriented practice focuses on international business, immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, family unity immigrant petitions pursued within the U.S. and also through consular process. We have dutifully completed countless immigrant and non-immigrant filings, for investors, multinational executives, professionals, athletes, artists, religious workers, as well as achieving immense success in other areas in which we also practice, having received the "Clients’ Choice” award every year by this reliable online source, AVVO.com, since 2012. As a service provider in international business immigration, our firm dedicates itself to numerous elements of corporate and immigration law. We assist both, individuals interested in migrating to the U.S. as well as foreign companies seeking to establish their subsidiaries or branch offices in the U.S. With regard to foreign companies, we examine their foreign corporate structure and U.S. oriented goals. In doing so, we engage in foreign corporate asset and establishment verification as well as domestic business evaluation. We do all of this in an effort to position our clientele on the pathway to immigrant based success. This success can be accomplished in numerous fashions, and by a case specific analysis, we then counsel our clients to ensure they achieve their goals, accordingly. Part of our portfolio of success is also several I-526 approved petitions through the EB5 Regional Center program, more specifically, the loan model which requires a $500,000 dollar passive investment in the form of a loan. Furthermore, we also provide immigration services to individuals interested in sponsoring their relatives via family based petitions. USCIS, the National Visa Center, and the Department of State control the means of immigrating to the U.S. through relatives. Our firm’s familiarity with all necessary requisites for family based immigration aims to achieve maximum efficiency and for a smoother process. We have numerous I-601A provisional waivers already approved, where the immigrant spouses, whether with a prior deportation order or not, have already obtained their waivers approved within the U.S., and shortly after, their immigrant visas at the U.S. Consulates in Brazil. Several of our clients spent just about 1 week only in Brazil to complete such process, and upon returning, they obtained their permanent Green Cards in a few weeks. We work also with other highly qualified professionals such as Real Estate, Trust & Estates and Tax lawyers, as well as CPAs, hence, meeting all needs of our high networth clientele, offering them tax and estate planning, duly protecting their assets and reducing their risks and tax liability prior to migrating to the United States. As to personal injury (auto accidents, slip & fall, wrongful death, etc.), we have had also outstanding success in our cases for we do not work with volume - hence, we work our personal injury cases with maximum care and attention, placing our very best efforts, exploring all possibilities, so to achieve the highest possible settlements. At the end of the day, Nogueira Morton P.L. realizes and embraces its role, not only as a legal service provider but also as a member of our local community. We understand that our foreign clients often are presented with various legal needs. As such, our firm offers an array of legal services, from assistance in a personal injury matter to the purchase of a residential or commercial property or the compilation of an active or passive investment process, according to our client's profile, goals, visa type and modality. We feel privileged and honored to have been entrusted with so many matters and cases by clients of all walks of life since 2001. We are proud and very thankful that most our clients become our best advertisement, for they are living proof of our competence, utmost dedication and zeal towards all matters we undertake.

Attorney Iara Morton was highly recommended to us and she was the perfect choice! She got my EB2NIW case approved without any RFE and now we’re just waiting for our Green Cards. Throughout the whole process she guided me and answered any questions I had. Extremely dedicated, impeccable work and the results we got prove it! Great team of assistants as well. Excellent experience! Our dreams came true and we couldn’t be happier and more thankful!
What a great firm, great team, great lawyer! Attorney Iara Morton and her assistants Ana and Clau have been truly wonderful. Besides my student Visa and extensions, my sponsor’s PERM was approved fairly quickly and now we’re ready to file for our adjustment of status. Couldn’t be happier and more grateful! We made the best choice!
We made the best choice when we hired Ms. Morton to work on my son’s immigration case. There were some complexities and she solved them all. Her expertise and promptness are very impressive. She went way above and beyond the extra mile for my son and his GC was approved! We’re so thankful for all she did! Highest recommendations!
I had consulted with 4 immigration attorneys and all told me that with a Green Card I could not petition for my husband who was a student with a F1 Visa. They said I needed to become a US Citizen first or that my husband would have to do a consular process and receive the Visa in Brazil and that would take a long time. Then a friend told me the best things about Iara Morton and I decided to consult one last time and thank God I did! Iara told me exactly the opposite of all I had heard. She showed to us a Visa table and explained to us that visas were available that month for our category (GC holder petitioning for spouse). She filed the whole process as if I were a US Citizen, our interview was super fast and my husband received his Green Card last year. There’s no other lawyer I trust and recommend. Iara is excellent, responsible and showed knowledge none of the others had any idea about.
We made an excellent choice by hiring Nogueira Morton Law. The whole team is wonderful and Iara Morton assistant’s Ana is one of a kind— detail-oriented, so attentive, humane, just perfect! My husband’s EB2NIW final phase is now complete thanks to them! Highly recommend!
Iara is just wonderful! She really took care of us and still does. Our case is an EB5 process. We’re way advanced and just waiting our permanent GCs to be issued. She’s very caring, responsible and guided us in the best possible way!
Iara did wonderful and competent legal work for my family for many years. My beloved mother, who also worked in the judiciary in Brazil and passed a few months ago, had the highest admiration, respect and gratitude for all Iara had done. Iara has a super sharp legal mind and a great heart! Highest recommendations!
Excelent PROFISSIONAL and very reliable, I RECOMEND due her higly experience in the business. Come summer, winter, good or bad times, Dr. Iara and her team of experienced professionals are the people you will need at your side whe the problems show up. Do not hesitate. Need a good suport? You found the best.
I live in Kansas and I’m a KU grad. An employer filed the wrong petition and we were devastated when we found out! After years achieving top academic and athletic awards I thought my days here were over. We were then recommended to consult with attorney Iara Morton in Florida and what a relief!!! She really felt for me and embraced my cause right away because time was beyond the essence. She drafted an outstanding petition and all has been filed already! My sponsor and I couldn’t be happier. We’re so thankful for all she did! She’s highly competent, on top of things, and very compassionate as well. We’re confident we will get an approval! Thank you so much Ms. Morton for changing my fate. God put you in my path!
I had a real tough case. My i485 was denied. I really thought I was doomed till my friend Charles told me the best things about attorney Iara Morton. From the date of the consultation I felt so confident I was in excellent hands. She explained the whole thing, the bad and the good and prepared a killer motion to reopen which was granted today! This was the best Xmas gift I could have received! Thank you Dra Iara, with all my heart! No words to describe what you’ve done for me!
