Partner, Lee & Peynado Immigration Law Group
At the age of 29, Pamela Peynado became the youngest and only female partner in the history of the Lee & Peynado Immigration Law Group. Her career in immigration law spawned from her life experience as an immigrant from the Dominican Republic and her passion to help others. Over the past 15 years, Peynado has successfully represented Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, cities, banks and churches, and aggressively defended countless adults and children in deportation and removal proceedings all over the United States.
Peynado is the founder of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, The Love Project 404 (TLP). Under her leadership, TLP has posted more than $300,000 in bail for those who could not afford it, gave $15,000 in scholarships and paid local families’ rents and bills.
