About
Jessica Palumbo is an experienced immigration attorney whose practice is devoted exclusively to federal immigration law. She represents foreign nationals nationwide, handling complex matters before U.S. Immigration agencies and appellate courts, including the Second, Fourth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeal, with a focus on precise legal analysis and effective advocacy.
Jessica earned her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Wellesley College and her Juris Doctor from Pace Law School. Her academic background supports a nuanced understanding of social systems, statutory interpretation, and administrative law, all of which inform her strategic approach to immigration advocacy.
Jessica’s career in immigration law began in 2007, while she served as a student attorney at her law school’s immigration justice clinic. That early exposure shaped a lasting commitment to immigration practice, procedure, and policy. Since becoming a barred attorney in 2009, she has built extensive experience in refugee resettlement, removal defense, and appellate litigation.
In addition to direct client representation, Jessica actively supports and mentors immigration attorneys nationwide. Her work frequently addresses complex intersections between criminal and immigration law, advanced removal defense strategies, and appeals before U.S. Immigration agencies and federal courts.
Jessica is licensed to practice law in New York and Georgia. She is admitted to the Georgia Supreme Court, the Second, Fourth, and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeal, and the U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of Georgia. Her broad admissions reflect a practice built on federal litigation and nationwide reach.
Through focused advocacy, mentorship, and deep procedural knowledge, Jessica Palumbo provides trusted guidance to clients and colleagues navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration law.
