Immigration Help Across West Texas
Serving immigrant families across Lubbock and West Texas.
Your immigration case should not depend on whether you live a few blocks from our office. From Lubbock to communities across the South Plains and West Texas, our team helps families understand their options, prepare carefully, and move forward with a clear plan.
Our Service Area
You do not have to live in Lubbock to work with our immigration team.
The Law Office of Gilda McDowell is based in Lubbock, Texas, and serves immigrant families throughout West Texas. Many of the people we help live in smaller towns, work long or irregular hours, or cannot make repeated trips to an attorney's office.
We begin by understanding your situation and determining whether your matter is one our office can help with. When appropriate, parts of the process can be handled by phone, message, and secure document exchange while our team explains what is happening and what comes next.
Gilda McDowell was born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico. She has practiced immigration law in Texas since 2009, and the firm serves families in both English and Spanish.
