Attorney Kathy Hensley focuses exclusively on immigration law, and she is passionate about her work. She has an extensive success record in obtaining visas, green cards (permanent residence status), and citizenship for her clients. Her cases have included assisting people who want to bring family members or fiancés to the U.S., obtaining visas for foreign nationals who are entrepreneurs or at the top of their field, helping clients get waivers for unlawful presence, representing university professors and scientific researchers who are navigating the green card process, and much more.

 

After receiving her bachelor’s degree in Public Policy Studies from Duke University, Kathy Hensley graduated with highest honors from McGeorge School of Law. She is a member of the California State Bar, and started her legal career with one of the top big law firms in San Francisco. While honing her research and litigation skills through complex business cases, she began doing pro bono immigration work. She found immigration law to be fascinating; not only was the work challenging, but she could see the huge impact that her efforts had on the lives of her clients. She opened her own immigration law practice in 2013.

 

Kathy Hensley has been an active volunteer at legal clinics throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including DACA workshops and the Jewish Family Servies clinic that assisted refugees and asylees apply for permanent residence and U.S. citizenship. She is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and has been a regular volunteer with the AILA Military Assistance Program.

 

When not working, her love of travel and adventure has led her throughout the United States and around the world. She whole-heartedly believes that the diversity of the people living and working in the U.S. make this country a much richer nation.
