On January 1, 1892, a new facility on Ellis Island in New York began receiving immigrants from across the world, welcoming them to the United States of America. Positioned right next to the Statue of Liberty, the message was clear: anyone who came to this country for a better life would be welcomed and encouraged.
This openness to others helped curate the idea of the American Dream and cultivated an international image of the US as a land of bountiful opportunities for all. All this led to American culture being referred to in the years since as the great melting pot. In this place, numerous elements blended to form a distinct national identity.
In 2025, United States residents from all corners of the globe will live in this country. Yet, so many advertisements, services, and more cater specifically to a tiny subsection of the population. Beyond merely the race that these services tend to appeal to, they also almost exclusively target wealthy individuals, who comprise a small percentage of the population.
Fortunately, Abogados Fuertes is striving to change all of that. Though the law office may be located on the other side of the country, from where Lady Liberty and Ellis Island are, it stands for the same values those national monuments do: a better life for all Americans.
The History of Abogados Fuertes
Abogados Fuertes has served injured California residents for more than 20 years. The team of multilingual and multiethnic attorneys understands the barriers faced by California’s diverse population, including language barriers. To help assuage such concerns, the team has dozens of Spanish speakers on staff who can help Spanish-speaking clients pursue justice, especially those searching for a personal injury attorney in California.
The firm’s goal has long been to make legal advocacy affordable and accessible to overlooked California residents. As one leader says, “Great attorneys are for more than just white, English speakers.”
Attempting to reach out to big businesses or legal firms can generate extreme anxiety among immigrants for multiple reasons. Chief among them is the uncertainty of whether or not they will be understood or meaningfully heard by the people on the other end of the phone call. That’s why Abogados Fuertes’ office has sought to curate a diverse team of workers, prepared to make everyone feel welcome.
Law for All
Law has always been a predominantly Anglo-centric, English-speaking industry with few attorneys able to offer legal guidance to clients with different language needs or cultural backgrounds. At Abogados Fuertes, the team finds it unacceptable that nearly half of all California residents speak a language other than English, yet few attorneys can serve them. Therefore, they aim to level the playing field.
Moreover, the firm treats every client with respect and dignity, regardless of their citizenship status, language, or level of knowledge. You don’t need to meet specific requirements to become a client and have a skilled and caring attorney. Abogados Fuertes makes top-notch legal representation available to people from all backgrounds.
With over 50 attorneys and hundreds of support staff, many of whom are bilingual or multilingual, the firm is committed to helping clients achieve and pursue their own American Dream.
