I founded Maria Mateo PC in 2010 and have been practicing law ever since. I earned my Legal Master’s Degree from St. John’s University, graduating with distinction.

Throughout my legal career, I have focused on complex litigation cases. I am licensed to practice law in the State of New York and admitted to Federal Courts in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States.

My practice covers various areas including Immigration and Matrimonial Law. I manage family and work petitions, as well as family matters such as divorces, child custody, and child support, including pre and postnuptial agreements.

I am recognized for delivering quality legal services, and both clients and organizations have acknowledged my advocacy skills, professionalism, and reliability.

My commitment to excellence in my work led to my recognition as one of the 10 best immigration lawyers in New York in 2017 by the American Institution of Legal Counsel. In 2018, I was listed among the 100 Bumble Business Most Influential People in NYC. More recently, I was honored by the Consulate of the Dominican Republic in New York with the Duarte Honors, and by New York City council members Hon. Eric A. Ulrich, Hon. Fernando Cabrera, Hon. Carmen De La Rosa, and Assemblyman Michael A. Blake for my outstanding work in law and for contributing positively to the Dominican diaspora in New York.

I have extensively presented and held conferences on how foreign lawyers can obtain their credentials and succeed in a competitive business environment. Additionally, I have lobbied in the United States Congress, advocating to protect due process at the border and demanding accountability from USCIS.

I am also actively involved in volunteer work, assisting victims of domestic violence in collaboration with the non-profit organization Sanctuary for Families and the Queens.
