Broward County is where many of South Florida's most diverse immigrant communities live and work — Caribbean, Latin American, European, South Asian, and West African families across Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and the cities in between. The Broward County line is five minutes south of Roberta's Boca Raton office, and a substantial portion of her practice is Broward-resident.
If you live in Broward County and need an immigration attorney, you have many options nearby. The reason to call Roberta is the same reason her Palm Beach County clients call: she answers the phone, she's been at this for thirty years, and your case will be handled by her — not by a paralegal, not by an associate, not by a junior staffer learning on the job.

Where Broward County cases get filed
The USCIS Oakland Park Field Office at 4451 NW 31st Avenue serves Broward County residents for naturalization interviews, adjustment-of-status interviews, and biometrics appointments. Roberta represents her Broward clients there regularly.
Broward residents in removal proceedings appear before the Miami Immigration Court, the same court that handles Palm Beach and Miami-Dade cases. There is no separate Broward immigration court.
Practice mix Roberta sees from Broward County
Broward County's case mix is more diverse than Palm Beach's — reflecting the broader range of immigrant communities and industries in the county.
- Employment-based immigrant visas. Labor certifications and EB-2 / EB-3 petitions for skilled workers in Broward's tech, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. (Roberta does not handle H-1B or H-2B non-immigrant work; clients who need those petitions are referred to an attorney who focuses on that practice area.)
- Removal defense for Caribbean and Central American clients. Some Broward removal cases come out of old criminal histories that resurface during a routine immigration filing. The work is to find a path forward — cancellation of removal, asylum derivative, voluntary departure where appropriate.
- F-1 student visa work for Broward College and Nova Southeastern. Status changes, OPT extensions, and the occasional out-of-status problem.
- Family-based green-card filings for the same patterns Roberta sees in Palm Beach — spouses, parents, adult children abroad.
