Gloria Cardenas, Immigration Attorney and Founder of Familia America
The United States Hispanic Business Council is proud to feature Gloria Cardenas in our Made in America series, a Latina entrepreneur whose personal story and professional mission powerfully embody the values of family and economic opportunity.
Known by many as the “Immigration Queen,” Gloria is a nationally recognized immigration attorney and the founder of Familia America. Her story begins with deep family roots in the immigrant experience: from her grandfather, an undocumented laborer from Mexico, to her mother’s journey through Ellis Island, and her father’s appointment as one of California’s first Mexican American judges. Today, Gloria continues that legacy through tireless advocacy and legal support for immigrant families and small businesses across the country.
Her latest innovation, Legal Lifeline, is a groundbreaking flat fee service that places her and her legal team on speed dial for immigration emergencies. Designed for both businesses and individuals, Legal Lifeline offers affordable, year round access to urgent immigration legal support, a first of its kind service tailored for employers and immigrant families alike.
Gloria’s recognition as one of Utah Business’s 2024 Most Influential Women highlights the reach of her work. What truly stands out, though, is her commitment to supporting immigrant families and helping small businesses navigate complex legal challenges.
Her approach shows how immigration touches many aspects of American life, from the workforce to the economy to the strength of our communities. Through her work, she helps ensure that every person striving for the American Dream has a trusted ally by their side.
At the United States Hispanic Business Council, we’re proud to highlight leaders like Gloria who bring practical solutions and real support while uplifting communities through business.
