About
Juan Rocha was born in Chihuahua, Mexico. He immigrated to the United States when he was three years old. He and his parents applied for lawful permanent resident status after President Ronald Reagan signed the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), which granted lawful status to immigrants that had entered the country before January 1, 1982. In 1996, he became a United States citizen. Armed with a U.S. passport, Juan moved to Thailand and traveled around Southeast Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia). After graduating from Arizona State University, he picked up his passport and traveled to Western Europe and later Central and South America. In 2001, he moved to Chicago and attended graduate school at the University of Chicago where he had the fortune of being a student of then-Professor Barack Obama. He received his law degree from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Law.For six years he was an Assistant Federal Public Defender representing indigent clients in federal court and has argued cases before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 2013, he opened his law firm representing clients in the criminal and immigration courts. Juan has written extensively on the intersection of criminal and immigration law. His articles have been published by the University of Chicago; the Harvard Kennedy School of Government; the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL); and The Federal Bar Association, among other publications. Juan has also appeared on PBS and Spanish-language radio to discuss criminal and immigration law and policy.Juan is a lecturer at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. He teaches a class titled, "Southwest Border Crimes." The focus of the course is how the federal government uses the criminal and immigration code to prosecute noncitizens of various immigration crimes and how these crimes impact a noncitizen’s immigration status. Juan has been a presenter at law conferences and universities. He gave the keynote address on “Crimmigration” at San Diego State University, has presented at the University of Arizona School of Law, and the National Association of Legal Investigators annual conference, and various continuing legal education seminars. He has also written editorial pieces about Arizona politics and has been quoted by The New York Times.Juan’s story is an example of how reasonable immigration policy produces good citizens and enriches a country.

Gracias a todo el equipo Rocha que hicieron posible alcanzar el objetivo de adquirir la residencia en los Estados Unidos, dándonos mas que un servicio nos dieron esperanza y confianza para seguir adelante, a pesar de cruzar por los inconvenientes ocasionados por una pandemia lograron adaptarse a todas las restricciones de una manera profesional y dejando en evidencia su extensa experiencia laboral al final todo se a reflejado en resultados favorables para nosotros.
On behalf of my family, we give appreciation and thanks to Mr. Rocha for assisting my husband to be allowed to join our family again. We were totally blindsided by the situation and when Mr. Rocha worked his magic for us, figured we wouldn't see my husband again, it was nothing less than magic to us! I have never had to deal with an attorney before so I was nervous but felt more at ease right away esp since Mr. Rocha either answered his own phone right away or was available to speak with when I called. This just made me feel like my husband was just as important as any other of his clients. Thank you again and we shall never forget your expert help!
Following his clear instructions, Juan Rocha helped my wife and me to get the residency. Every single document was carefully reviewed by himself without allowing any mistakes for our cases. Because of his great experience, these were quick and easygoing procedures along with the exellent results. We will be always thankful to this brilliant lawyer!
People tempt to lose hope .Until Juan was assigned to my case. He gave me hope to look forward to. Just mercy and I came home . Thanks to you Juan I rate him more then stars
Thanks to Juan Rocha and team that help me go through my hardest time. Very professional. Thank you so much. Recommended.
Thanks to Mr. Juan Rocha and Elizabeth for my mother's case. Juan explained the clear process and time line to me since day one before we start to hire Rocha's lawyer firm. Elizabeth is very actively communicate with me on requested documents with well prepared. As we moved to another state she help me to feel at ease and do not worry for anything. It took us over a year for an interview, I love that they are well prepared of any circumstance that might happened. My family and I can not thanks enough for Mr. Rocha helped and support. I am recommend this firm to every friends I know and would not hesitate to hired Mr. Rocha as the immigration attorney.
Mr. Rocha and his assistant are like angels sent from heaven. They are very professional, kind, understanding and patient. They treat you with respect and kindness, I needed immediate assistance as my husband had been detained, I called several attorneys and no one seemed to care to help, I even paid some attorneys to have a consultation and they did not seem to care. When I called Mr. Rocha’s office, his very knowledgeable assistant immediately took the time to listen, was always very positive and made me feel that everything was going to be okay. Mr. Rocha immediately took our case, the next day they were filling papers and in less than 2 weeks my husband was released. They are very professional with a kind heart, you can immediately see that they are not there for your money. They have the most reasonable fees! I am very thankful to God for putting my family in their hands.
I am very pleased with Juan Rochas work. He did an amazing job with helping me get my Residency. Explained everything to me and guided me through the whole process and answered all my questions. He is indeed a great lawyer!
I could not be more grateful for Juan Rocha's service in helping me out with my immigration case. My immigration case was a very tough complicated one, and before coming to Juan Rocha we (my parents) had previously consulted with different lawyers whom had said I had no hope... and that I would eventually get deported no matter what. When we (my parents) desperately came to Juan Rocha explaining what my case was Juan Rocha told us that he would look into my case and try to figure something out, he was very understanding. We ended up hiring him and it was a process but he figured out a way to terminate removal proceedings in my case and was granted with DACA again. I'm extremely blessed he handled my case because I cannot imagine what life would be like if he had not. I'm so thankful, he's the best!!!!
Juan Rocha helped me out with my immigration case which was very difficult from the beginning. He is a great attorney and I know for a fact that he worked very hard on my case. I was adopted when I was a baby and no one knew where I came from. Some people would say I was born in Mexico and others would say I was born in the USA. No one knew who or where my natural mother was. I got arrested a few times and was deported to Mexico even though there was no record indicating that I was born in Mexico. Thanks to Juan's hard work we were able to find out who my natural mother is and that I was born in Phoenix, AZ. Because of Juan's hard work I will finally be able to get my U.S. birth certificate and I get my driver license as well. Thank you very much for not giving up and for being so persistent!
