Lori B. Adrogué – Houston Criminal Defense & Immigration Attorney

Lori B. Adrogué is a dedicated criminal defense and immigration attorney in Houston, Texas, known for her compassionate, strategic, and relentless advocacy on behalf of individuals and families facing some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

As a partner at Adrogué Law Firm, PLLC, Lori represents clients in complex criminal and immigration matters with a rare combination of legal expertise, cultural understanding, and personal commitment.

Born in Mexico and now a naturalized United States citizen, Lori has experienced the immigration journey firsthand. With deep family ties that extend across borders, she understands not only the legal complexities of immigration law, but also the emotional weight her clients carry—the fear, uncertainty, and hope that accompany every case. This personal perspective shapes her practice and fuels her determination to pursue fair and just outcomes.

Education & Legal Background

Lori earned her Bachelor of Science degree from The University of Texas at Austin before obtaining her Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center.

During law school, she distinguished herself through judicial clerkships with the Honorable David Medina and the Honorable Katie Kennedy. She also participated in competitive advocacy programs, including the Mock Trial Team and the John Black Moot Court Competition, developing strong courtroom presence and analytical precision early in her career.

Professional Experience & Practice Focus

Since beginning her legal career in 2002, Lori has devoted herself primarily to immigration law, later expanding her practice to include criminal defense. She is especially skilled in handling cases where criminal charges intersect with immigration consequences—an area where experience, strategy, and attention to detail can make a life-changing difference.

Her practice includes:

• Deportation and removal defense

• Family-based and employment-based immigration

• Asylum and citizenship applications

• Criminal defense for misdemeanors and felonies

• Criminal-immigration (“crimmigration”) matters

Lori’s ability to navigate both systems allows her to protect clients from unintended consequences that can impact their freedom, residency, and families.

Client-Centered Advocacy

Clients value Lori for her honesty, accessibility, and unwavering dedication. She approaches every case with care, preparation, and the belief that every person deserves strong representation and a voice in the legal system.

Whether defending a client’s freedom or protecting their ability to remain with family in the United States, Lori stands beside her clients at every stage of the legal process as a trusted, committed advocate.
