Alice Vacek Aranda

Alice Vacek Aranda is a bankruptcy and immigration attorney with offices in Sedona and Phoenix, Arizona. Immigration is the firm’s primary practice area, and she works with asylees, families separated by borders, applicants for citizenship, and people seeking to invest in the United States and create jobs. She also represents clients in bankruptcy matters, helping individuals address overwhelming debt and pursue a financial fresh start through available legal procedures.

Alice earned a J.D. from California Western School of Law after earlier graduate study in history and professional work in Washington, D.C. She also completed an M.A. and B.A. at the University of Florida and a paralegal certificate from Georgetown University. Her academic interests in international history and legal studies support an immigration practice shaped by cross-border issues, humanitarian concerns, and the legal consequences of economic and political change.

Alice developed experience with asylum matters before law school through volunteer work assisting people affected by conflict in Central America. She later studied international trade and business while earning her law degree. In practice, she helps clients with immigration matters involving asylum, family reunification, citizenship, and investment-based objectives. Her bankruptcy work grew from a desire to help people facing severe financial pressure after the real estate and financial market downturn.

Alice Vacek Aranda has built a practice combining immigration advocacy and bankruptcy relief for clients facing major changes in legal status, family circumstances, or finances. Her work emphasizes careful problem solving and practical options tailored to the client’s situation. She assists immigrants seeking lawful pathways and protection while helping debt-burdened individuals use bankruptcy law to reorganize their financial lives and move toward a more stable future.
