About us

A bridge, not a maze.

Puente means bridge. We named the firm for what clients need most: someone who knows the way across.

Our story

Founded by the children of immigrants.

Elena Puente and Marcus Lam both grew up translating for their parents at government offices. They opened the firm in 2012 so that families would not have to navigate the system alone or in a language they did not choose.

Today the firm handles family petitions, employment cases, citizenship and removal defense for clients across Houston and around the country, with bilingual staff at every step.

  • Every attorney is bilingual
  • Flat fees for each stage
  • Video consultations nationwide
