From Compassion to Counsel: Julie Aponte Shares Her Immigration Law Journey on Close Up Radio
Julie Aponte, founder and managing director of J. Aponte & Associates, recently joined Close Up Radio as part of their Empowering Women Series to discuss her unique journey in the field of immigration law. As a woman- and minority-owned business leader, Ms. Aponte brings decades of experience, personal insight, and professional dedication to a highly specialized area of law—employment-based immigration.
After earning her law degree from Tulane in 1994, Julie practiced immigration law at various firms before launching her own practice in 2005. Since then, J. Aponte & Associates has grown into a thriving boutique firm that supports multinational corporations in hiring professionals from abroad—ranging from scientists and healthcare workers to finance and IT professionals.
What sets her firm apart? A deep knowledge of immigration regulations, a proactive legal strategy, and a simple but powerful philosophy: treat everyone with respect. “We make sure the facts are applicable to the law to present a strong legal argument,” she says. “A lot of thought goes into each petition up front.”
In the podcast, Julie also reflects on her own family’s immigrant story and how it continues to shape her passion for helping others pursue opportunity in the U.S. Her empathy, strategic mindset, and commitment to quality outcomes have earned her national recognition from Who’s Who and HR Magazine—and the trust of countless clients over the years.
